Detect
Monitor signals across endpoints, identities, and infrastructure.
Approach
Security work with a clear point of view.
I build and investigate defensive environments with an emphasis on useful signals, careful analysis, and practical response.
Investigate
Connect logs and alerts to find the story behind suspicious activity.
Respond
Turn findings into clear, practical steps that reduce risk.
Selected Work
Built to understand the system.
Labs and low-level projects that connect security operations with hands-on systems thinking.
