## About

```text
At Capital One, I conduct MITRE ATT&CK-aligned threat hunts across techniques including BYOVD, AWS IAM privilege escalation, potential data exfiltration, and AI misuse. I use Databricks and CrowdStrike to analyze enterprise threats.

I developed a statistical anomaly detection approach to identify irregular AWS AssumeRole activity and surface potential lateral movement patterns. I also investigate endpoint findings and support CSOC operations through alert triage, case documentation, and ticket-based workflows.

Previously, I conducted threat analyses on phishing emails and malware samples at Discover Financial Services, and analyzed match data at Atalanta BC. My projects include a home network security lab, self-hosted infrastructure, and a TensorFlow model that recognized handwritten Japanese characters with 91% accuracy.
