What I'm looking for

I want to work on hands-on security—especially IoT and threat modeling—while also using automation and dashboards to turn data into actionable decisions.

I’m building network resilience research by applying spectral graph theory and computational modeling to test robustness and connectivity under failure scenarios at St. Joseph’s University.

I’ve also worked through security-focused externships: I analyzed systems with the STRIDE threat model, set up a secured MQTT pipeline using TLS and device certificates, and simulated attack scenarios to improve defenses. I benchmarked encryption overhead on high-frequency sensor data and delivered a Security Improvement Report with actionable recommendations.

On the automation side, I designed AI-driven workflows with n8n and Supabase for e-commerce trend analysis and competitive monitoring, then built real-time dashboards to speed up trend and anomaly detection. My work balances secure system design, encryption, and practical data/dashboard execution.
