About

Security Researcher with 12+ years of experience securing large-scale software and hardware platforms at Intel, Amazon, and Juniper. I work on threat modeling and security design reviews while building security tooling and systems that scale, enabling early vulnerability detection, reducing risk across CI/CD pipelines, and securing AI/ML-driven systems. My work has contributed to identifying and mitigating 78k+ high and medium-severity vulnerabilities across complex ecosystems. Core expertise: • Platform & Systems Security • Vulnerability Research • Applied Cryptography • Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) • Security Automation at Scale • Low-level Security (firmware, drivers, rootkits) • AI/ML Systems Security (LLM/RAG, AI pipelines) Disclosed multiple vulnerabilities with 10+ assigned CVEs (Intel-SA-00683). Background includes offensive security, red teaming, and large-scale detection systems, with experience spanning firmware, drivers, and distributed systems.
