About

A dedicated cybersecurity researcher focused on the frontiers of AI security, supply chain security , and security automation. With a background spanning web, network, and cloud infrastructure, I now specialize in the unique vulnerabilities of the AI lifecycle—from red teaming Large Language Models (LLMs) against prompt injection and data poisoning to ensuring the robustness of machine learning pipelines. My approach integrates a deep understanding of software supply chain risks, utilizing frameworks like SLSA and SBOM analysis to secure the provenance of third-party dependencies and CI/CD ecosystems. Driven by a "Security-as-Code" philosophy, I leverage advanced automation to transform manual penetration testing into scalable, proactive defense mechanisms, ensuring that both the intelligence and the infrastructure of modern enterprises remain resilient against evolving adversarial threats.
