Security engineer with enterprise SOC experience in threat detection and incident response — now building AI-driven security tooling and agents with guardrails baked in.
I'm a security engineer with 6+ years of enterprise SOC experience — real-time threat detection, incident response, and security control validation across cloud and on-prem environments at Caterpillar scale.
My day job is keeping attackers out and finding the ones who slip through: SIEM engineering, MITRE ATT&CK-driven threat hunting, NIST compliance. My current obsession is the intersection where I think the next decade of security lives — AI agents and LLM tooling built with security-first guardrails, and using AI to make detection faster and smarter.
I hold an Active Top Secret Security Clearance and certifications across security, cloud, and infrastructure.
Notable projects, wins, and certifications — every entry here was shipped through my AI intake pipeline. Latest first.
