Bridging Security Research and Software Engineering

I am an Offensive Security Analyst at CYBLE Inc., driven by a passion for understanding the intricate mechanics of cybersecurity. My journey began with a curiosity for how systems break, which evolved into a career dedicated to securing them.

From engineering automated malware detection pipelines to developing platforms like VulnManage, I focus on building robust tools that enhance organizational security posture. I believe in "Security by Design" and the power of automation to solve complex defense challenges.

“Security by Design” — automation over repetition.
