Experience & affiliations

Hey there.

I'm a security engineer at Cardinal Healthcare, where I protect healthcare networks and clinical data, and the founding engineer at Prep'd, where I build the product and own its security architecture. Before that I worked across SOC operations, application security and cloud hardening at Peblink, Ford and Tata Consultancy Services, and earned my M.S. in Cybersecurity at Yeshiva University.

I think of security as an adversarial game, and I play to win. Outside my day jobs, I build open projects and hands-on labs in detection engineering, cloud security and AI-driven automation.
