About

CS grad from Tennessee Tech. Two years as an AI-Cyber Researcher and CEROC Ambassador — working at the overlap of adversarial ML, security tooling, and cloud infrastructure.

This site is where I keep the things I build because I want to, not because I have to — a hedge against the Overjustification Effect.
