AI-focused Software Engineer | IT Automation | Cloud Security Research | ML Systems
I build automation, ML, and security tooling that turns messy operational workflows into repeatable systems.
Currently focused on:
- Enterprise IT automation, QA engineering, CI/CD quality gates, and platform reliability.
- Cloud security research, especially identity-to-data attack-path discovery and IAM risk modeling.
- LLM evaluation, behavioral testing, and failure-mode analysis through black-box harnesses.
- Applied ML systems across NLP, computer vision, model validation, and workflow automation.
I like projects that sit at the intersection of engineering execution and research depth: systems that are useful, measurable, and explainable.
| Area | What I am working on |
|---|---|
| Cloud Security | Identity-to-data attack-path modeling, capability composition, IAM blast-radius analysis, and remediation heuristics. |
| LLM Evaluation | Black-box behavioral telemetry for model response quality, pressure handling, uncertainty awareness, and boundary integrity. |
| Developer Tooling | Automated bug triage, test-driven repair loops, multi-agent code review, and CI quality reporting. |
| Enterprise Automation | Refresh workflows, validation pipelines, compliance dashboards, and deterministic operational runbooks. |
| Applied ML | NLP, computer vision, representation learning, and low-code ML workflow automation. |
| Project | Focus |
|---|---|
| OperationalML | Low-code ML automation platform designed to make model-building workflows faster and more accessible. |
| Whatify | NLP-based real-time content moderation system aimed at reducing antisocial behavior online. |
| GymAI | Computer-vision posture feedback system using Python and OpenCV. |
| Identity-to-Data Attack Path Discovery Engine | Graph-based cloud security research for modeling how compromised identities can reach sensitive data. |
| Bug2Patch | Product direction for automated bug analysis, patch recommendation, and multi-agent code review. |
| DNA-binding Protein Classification | ML research work on biological sequence classification. |
