Building secure systems at the intersection of finance and technology.
I'm a security engineer with a passion for building and defending complex systems at scale. Currently at Hudson River Trading, I focus on enterprise security — protecting the infrastructure that powers one of the world's most sophisticated trading firms.
My journey spans cloud security across AWS and GCP, threat modelling, architecture review, and building security tooling from the ground up. I've embedded security into products at AWS, architected secure cloud platforms at Goldman Sachs, and built detection and remediation frameworks at Millennium Management.
I hold a Master's in Information Security from Carnegie Mellon University and a BS in Computer Science from New Mexico Tech. When I'm not hardening systems, you'll find me mentoring engineers, writing about security, and exploring the ever-evolving threat landscape.
Automated pipeline for ingesting, analyzing, and visualizing threat intelligence data from Symantec. Built with Python, Redis, and graph-based analysis.
