What I'm looking for

I’m looking to leverage my software and security background to build robust, high-performance solutions that improve reliability—especially in system-level C++ work, secure embedded development, and production-ready security tooling.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer specializing in C++ development, security engineering, and system-level software across desktop, embedded, and cross-platform environments. I’ve delivered production-ready Data Loss Prevention engines at Digital Guardian, and I’m experienced in debugging complex systems to improve device stability and reliability.

I’ve also designed and secured embedded systems at Verizon using C++17, U-Boot, and RSA APIs, including custom bootloaders with a focus on maintainable, production-quality architecture. Most recently, I reverse engineered proprietary Philips software and machine log formats at HeartMedical, then built C++/MFC diagnostic utilities and cross-platform .NET MAUI apps to support internal workflows and production-ready tooling.
