01 / About
Security thinking, built for action.
I’m a cybersecurity student at the University of South Florida with hands-on experience in SOC operations, application security, incident response, and AI-powered security automation. I’ve worked with SIEM platforms, GreyMatter, log analysis, threat detection workflows, and multi-agent cybersecurity systems using LLMs, MCP integrations, LiteLLM, and agent orchestration frameworks.
I enjoy building tools that help analysts investigate alerts faster, reduce false positives, and turn complex security data into clear remediation guidance.

GuidePoint Security
Application Security Intern
- Architected a multi-agent cybersecurity investigation platform using Opencode, LiteLLM, and MCP integrations to automate incident triage, threat intelligence analysis, remediation guidance, reporting, and quality assurance workflows.
- Supported development of a Capital One cyber range for AI security training and simulations.
- Analyzed security alerts within a cyber range and evaluated AI effectiveness across multiple attack and response workflows.
- Presented a capstone project and live demonstration to 100+ stakeholders.
ReliaQuest
GreyMatter Operations Intern
- Monitored and managed the end-to-end alert lifecycle across 6+ SIEM platforms, including QRadar, LogRhythm, Splunk, Exabeam, Sumo Logic, and Microsoft Sentinel, using GreyMatter.
- Investigated live security alerts through log analysis, reducing false positives and improving detection accuracy.
- Performed root-cause analysis on active incidents and contributed to detection rule improvements for recurring threat patterns.
- Translated technical findings into clear incident reports for customers and non-technical stakeholders.
ReliaQuest Cybersecurity Labs
Cybersecurity Lab Participant
- Completed a four-week cybersecurity program using GreyMatter to perform incident analysis on real-time exploits.
- Analyzed attack lifecycle phases, identified threat actors, interpreted logs, and developed mitigation strategies.
- Completed hands-on labs in a team environment, strengthening leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
04 / Selected projects
