I'm a software developer working in security at Solidigm. I build internal tools that help with identity and security operations. A lot of my work involves connecting systems and automating tasks that would otherwise take someone a lot of manual effort.
PhishFinder started with a security incident at work. I was seeing phishing attempts that didn’t fit the familiar examples people were trained to spot, and I wanted to help users make sense of them. For my computer science capstone at CSU Monterey Bay, I built a Gmail plugin that analyzed suspicious messages and explained the warning signs. It included a natural-language module designed to flag potentially AI-generated text in unfamiliar attacks, drawing on attempts we’d seen in the wild. The project won the Capstone Innovation Award.
Outside of work, I like visiting national parks and tinkering with home automation. Some of the projects here solve a problem I've run into; others started because I wanted to understand how something works.
