Principal Security Engineer building AI-powered vulnerability intelligence at Independent Research & Product Development.

United States
Message

At Independent Research & Product Development, I built The Exploit Bulletin, an automated threat intelligence platform that analyzes vulnerability and exploitation reports to identify emerging threats. I also engineered AI-powered security intelligence systems that cut a representative research workflow from about 30 minutes to seconds.

At Vimeo, Inc., I led Security Automation and architected an AI-powered vulnerability management system that automated over 99% of triage, reduced critical remediation timelines by 80%+, and made the backlog fully auditable. I also designed an Automated Design Review platform that shortened secure design reviews from days to minutes.

At Datto, Inc., I founded and led Application and Offensive Security programs, built a #1 BSIMM-ranked program, and managed penetration testing, exploit research, and vulnerability management. I also built an attack surface and service catalog platform covering over one million services across more than 100,000 assets.

I founded Socialight, LLC and independently shipped a production iOS and Android application using Flutter and Firebase. Earlier, at Elegant Technology, Inc., I developed mobile applications and backend infrastructure, predictive sports analytics engines, and large-scale web crawlers.
