I’m a security-minded student who’s built hands-on SOC capabilities through a Winter Internship in Defensive Security, where I helped improve live visibility across network and endpoints. I configured and tuned SIEM dashboards, alert rules, and monitoring views under senior guidance to strengthen detection coverage.

I analyzed logs across network, endpoint, and system layers to identify anomalous patterns, then documented findings in structured incident summaries for the SOC team. I also wrote clear reports on security observations and escalated blockers promptly so senior engineers stayed fully informed.

Alongside security work, I contribute as a core team member building and maintaining production-facing web experiences. For Impulse’25, I developed an event website with React and TypeScript, taking ownership of UI fixes and coordinating with teammates to deliver clean, working features.

My projects blend fast execution with clear user value: I built a Competitive Intelligence & Battlecard Generator that produces structured, cited sales battlecards in under 60 seconds using Node.js/Express, MongoDB caching, and parallel web research. I also created FinPilot, an AI-powered financial assistant dashboard that routes between GPT-4 and Gemini for better relevance and reduced response time, using LangChain and a consistent data model with rich visualizations.
