I'm a security researcher and red teamer working the dual-use edge of AI and offensive security; what is genuinely feasible for an attacker, measured rather than assumed, and written up so defenders can act on it.

Behind that is a decade across offense and defense: full-lifecycle adversary emulation, engagement-specific tooling and offensive R&D in C, C#, and the Win32 API, and frontier-model red teaming — plus intelligence and electronic-warfare roles in the U.S. Marine Corps (GEOINT and SIGINT). I turn findings into technical reports, executive briefings, and research that drive national impact, and I hold CISSP and Pentest+.

Everything here is independent work, published so defenders can reason about it and build against it. Happy to collaborate on research, policy, or advice.
