FIELD NOTES / OPEN CASE

Cybersecurity engineer. I build the systems that notice things: detection pipelines, cloud honeypots, and risk scoring that turns raw signal into a decision someone can act on.

ABOUT

I'm an MS Cybersecurity candidate at Northeastern University's Khoury College, currently an AI Cybersecurity Intern at Abbott in Madison, Wisconsin, following a cybersecurity co-op at Exact Sciences. My work sits at the intersection of detection engineering, cloud security, and governance. I like problems where a messy stream of logs or controls has to become a clear, defensible answer.

Before this, I completed a BTech in AI & Data Science, which still shapes how I approach security work: as a data problem first. Most of my projects are built to prove out a full pipeline end to end (ingest, detect, score, and report) rather than a single script or notebook.

Based Madison, WI / Boston, MA
Focus Detection engineering, malware analysis, cloud security, GRC
Currently AI Cybersecurity Intern, Abbott
Reading MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0

PROJECT LOG
