experience
An AI for continuous penetration testing. Tests live systems, learns the environment, emulates the patterns and tools real attackers use. Humans validate every finding before it ships. In early access through 1752 Ventures.
IoT/firmware security on an IMU-based handwriting device for accessibility, plus GTM and business strategy alongside the founders. BLE/NFC/SPI protocol analysis and hardcoded credential discovery in deployed units. Helped file the patent that's now in pilot at five schools.
NFC cashless event platform. Started in market research, extended for product security. 11 vulnerabilities including MFA bypass, reflected XSS, IDOR. Helped design the NFC wristband payment workflow.
Structured industry pentest program with weekly client deliverables. Web app assessments on commercial sites with standardized CVSS v3 reporting. 18 vulnerabilities identified, five rated critical.
projects
Six scanning tools cross-checked by local AI models to cut false alarms. Built for the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre AI Hackathon.
