Security engineer and former tech lead. I build software and I break it.

I started as a software developer and architect. At Point3 Security, I co-led development of ESCALATE, a cybersecurity training platform, and helped redesign it from a static site with a simple Flask backend into a single-page app built on GraphQL and microservices. I then led the team building a cyber range for the U.S. Armed Forces.

At Zimperium, a mobile security company, I kept a legacy platform secure and FedRAMP-compliant through its phase-out and reproduced n-day vulnerabilities against our own SaaS product. That’s where I shifted from building software to breaking it.

For the past three years I’ve been a mobile vulnerability researcher at Booz Allen Hamilton, finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in mobile applications. In 2026 I received the company’s VIP Award, given to about 100 of its 35,000 employees each year.

That combination is what I bring to a security team. I know how attackers think, especially against mobile and web applications, and I know how engineers work, so I can find what matters and get it fixed without slowing teams down.

I’m looking for a hands-on security leadership role, either building a product security function or leading one technically, where I stay close to the code.
