Cybersecurity, AI & data science leader — 20+ years building production cyber-analytics platforms across enterprise, defense, and federal.

I build production-grade cyber data and analytics platforms — applying AI/ML, data science, and cloud engineering to defend networks and turn high-volume telemetry into decisions. Ph.D. in Computer Science, 20+ years across enterprise, defense, and federal environments.

Focus Areas

AI for Cyber

Offline/air-gapped LLM fine-tuning, MCP & agentic AI workflows, and ML-based anomaly detection on live network telemetry.

Network Defense & Forensics

Real-time situational awareness, threat detection at scale, and cyber-topology visualization for analysts and operators.

Data Science & Pipelines

Large-scale analytics pipelines, cloud data engineering on AWS/GCP, and ML modeling over messy, high-volume data.

Part 1 of a series on drone link security. Builds a simulated ArduPilot lab and the MAVIO workbench to measure what an unauthenticated MAVLink link exposes, from the parameter stream to commands that move the vehicle, and what that trust model means for the autonomy stacks, LLM-based ones included, that now sit on the other end.
