Software Developer · Security & Identity

This is a collection of things I've built, problems I've worked through, and ideas I'm exploring.

About

A builder,
first.

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.

Selected work

I build tools to inspect model execution, ground documents in evidence, and bring security checks into daily development.

Learning & instrumentation

Trace Explorer

A learning project where I recorded part of a local model run and built a viewer for the tokens, vector magnitudes, routing weights, and output scores.

I added the capture hooks, wrote checks for the recorded data, and built the viewer.

Document tooling & local models

TexTailor

A résumé and cover-letter workflow that proposes edits to selected text, checks the format, shows a diff, and builds a PDF for review.

I built the workflow around marked LaTeX sections, structured edit proposals, targeted checks, diff review, and PDF compilation.

Open-source developer tooling

Zwischen

Local secret scanning and static analysis for solo builders, small teams, and people working with coding agents. It runs before code leaves the machine through a Git push.

I added parallel checks, normalized and deduplicated findings, and Git-hook integration around Gitleaks and Semgrep.

Additional work

I also build software for my own day-to-day workflows.

Walnut Home

I built the SwiftUI client and integration backend, connecting home controls and camera history in one application.

Permanent Clipboard History

I built the native capture and search app, separating permanent entry files from the temporary indexes that make them fast to find.

Second Brain

I built the capture and validation workflow, plus a read-only reader that searches a committed snapshot of the knowledge base.

These are personal projects. My work at Solidigm stays in private company repositories.
