Where I've Worked

May – Aug 2025 Internship
Software Engineering Intern
Cisco

Built full-stack features inside a $58M ARR security product — shipping React dashboards and Go APIs that streamlined OT network configuration for enterprise teams. Architected secure access-control and policy management pipelines, and contributed to a Digital Twin model enabling real-time network simulation. Worked across the full stack in a production environment serving global infrastructure clients.

Jun – Aug 2023 Internship
Software Engineering Intern
Ford Motor Company via BIMCON

Deployed an AutoML pipeline using AutoGluon to predict engineering change request lead times — identifying hidden drivers of delay across thousands of historical records. The AI model surfaced correlations invisible to manual review, and findings presented directly to Senior Managers drove process eliminations worth $80K+/month in saved overhead. First engineering intern to fully automate this workflow end-to-end.

MVGuard

Post-Quantum Cryptography for Healthcare

Engineered a post-quantum cryptographic system to harden healthcare data against the coming quantum threat. Used multivariate polynomial encryption — a NIST-candidate algorithm — and wrapped it in a Flask UI so non-technical clinical staff can encrypt, store, and retrieve records without touching cryptographic primitives. Demonstrates the intersection of cybersecurity, AI threat modeling, and quantum readiness.

Quantum Randomness for Healthcare Informatics

Q# · Azure Quantum · IonQ · NIST 800-22

Developed a true quantum random number generator using Q# on Azure Quantum with execution on IonQ hardware. Applied the generator to healthcare data de-identification, validating randomness quality against the NIST 800-22 statistical test suite. Presented at ISEF, winning CIA 1st Place.

The Australian Shuffle & Two Self-Working Card Tricks

Published · The Mathematical Gazette · June 2025

A peer-reviewed mathematical analysis of the Australian (out-shuffle / Monge) shuffle and two self-working card tricks derived from its properties. The paper establishes formal proofs connecting shuffle cycle structure to predictable card positions, surfacing deep combinatorial patterns accessible through recreational mathematics.

Exfiltrating Data from an Isolated System

Covert Channel · Screen Brightness Modulation · US Navy ONR Medallion

Discovered and demonstrated a novel covert cyberattack against air-gapped systems — encoding data in imperceptible screen brightness oscillations, detectable by a camera at distance. The attack bypasses every layer of traditional air-gap security with zero physical access. Used signal processing and custom encoding schemes to achieve reliable exfiltration. Recognized nationally at JSHS and awarded the US Navy ONR Medallion.

Autonode

Agentic IoT Rerouting · Velric × Foundry Hackathon 3rd Place

Built a multi-agent AI platform that fully automates IoT device rerouting in OT industrial networks — no human in the loop. Deployed 5 specialized autonomous agents that communicate via a knowledge-graph to detect anomalies and reroute sensors in real time. Built on Jaseci / JSORC, with a live web dashboard. Won 3rd place at Velric × Foundry Hackathon.

Uniconnect

AI-Powered Campus Event Matching

A platform enabling university leaders to broadcast campus events through AI-driven matching to student profiles. Uses Gemini API via Oracle Cloud to generate smart event summaries and applies cosine similarity to surface the most relevant events for each student's interests, clubs, and academic background.
