About

I'm a malware analyst with over six years of experience in incident response and cyber operations across government and national security environments. Active TS/SCI with advanced GIAC certifications in malware analysis, forensics, and network forensics.

I'm transitioning into security software engineering — building tools that are well-structured, useful, and grounded in real security problems. My focus is on detection pipelines, endpoint security tooling, and backend services that translate analyst workflows into reliable engineering systems.

Currently pursuing a B.S. in Software Engineering at WGU and developing in Python and Go. Next focus: macOS internals and endpoint security frameworks.

Projects

Statica Shipped v1.0
Python

Static file analysis pipeline for malware triage. Extracts hashes, printable strings, and IOCs from arbitrary binaries — IPs, URLs, domains, and suspicious file artifacts — using a modular two-pass extraction architecture with deterministic JSON output.

MD5 / SHA256 String Extraction IOC Detection Modular Architecture Full Test Coverage Cross-platform

macOS DFIR Collector In Progress
Python

Endpoint artifact and telemetry collection tool for macOS. Gathers security-relevant system state for threat hunting and DFIR purposes — persistence mechanisms, running processes, launch agents and daemons, login items, and suspicious binary indicators. Structured JSON output.

LaunchAgents / Daemons Process Enumeration Persistence Detection macOS Internals Structured JSON
IOC Correlation Service Planned
Go

Threat intelligence pipeline that ingests public IOC feeds, normalizes indicators, exposes a query API, and optionally generates detection rule stubs. Designed to consume Statica's extracted IOC output for end-to-end enrichment.

Threat Feed Ingestion IOC Normalization HTTP API SQLite / PostgreSQL Detection Stubs
Swift ESF Telemetry Tool Planned
Swift

Real-time kernel-level macOS telemetry using Apple's Endpoint Security Framework. Evolution of the DFIR Collector from polling-based collection into true event-driven sensor behavior — the architecture that underlies commercial EDR products.
