Skills
AI & ML security
LLM red-teaming: jailbreaks, direct and indirect prompt injection, system-prompt extraction, data and prompt leakage, refusal-robustness evaluation. Agent / tool-use security: MCP tool-call authorization, validation, auditing. Adversarial ML, model evaluation and safety testing, knowledge-graph grounding. Machine learning
PyTorch, diffusion models, object detection, NLP. Empirical evaluation and experiment management: deterministic seeding, ablations, bootstrap CIs, reproducible pipelines. Offensive security
Penetration testing of infrastructure, web apps, and AI/ML systems; vulnerability research, CVE analysis, privilege-escalation enumeration, kill-chain construction, digital forensics. Kali, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, nmap. Defensive security
Threat modeling and mapping, D3FEND countermeasure design, detection and incident response, network security, firewalls and IDS, access control, OS and enterprise hardening, risk assessment, tamper-evident logging. Cryptography
Applied cryptography, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing and digital signatures, key exchange, PKI and TLS, post-quantum cryptography (lattice-based schemes, NIST PQC), hash-chained integrity. Programming & systems
Python (fluent) for data analysis and detection tooling, SQL and SQLite for querying large datasets, Bash, Java. Linux, Docker, systemd, networking. Automated testing and CI, Git. Projects
Psypher AI Threat Assessor
Open-source AI red-teaming engine. Attacks a deployed model with an ATLAS-tagged adversarial corpus — jailbreaks, prompt injection, system-prompt extraction, refusal testing — and maps each finding to a D3FEND countermeasure. Python, Anthropic API. Kybernos
Zero-trust gateway for AI agents. Every tool call is authenticated, authorized deny-by-default, schema-validated, and audited before it executes. Python, MCP, NIST SP 800-207. DPC-YOLO26
From-scratch defense against adversarial-patch attacks on object detectors, using diffusion residuals to localize the patch. Capstone, with research paper. Python, PyTorch. HunterEngine
Deterministic threat-enrichment engine for phishing and insider lures. Maps behavior to MITRE ATT&CK and emits deploy-ready YARA and STIX 2.1. Python. |
