01. About Me

I'm a cybersecurity operations professional with over a decade of hands-on IT infrastructure experience, now operating at the intersection of traditional security operations and frontier AI security.

I hold an M.S. in Cybersecurity (GPA 3.7 / 4.0) from Oklahoma City University, plus industry certifications and ongoing training across AI security, cloud, and SOC fundamentals — including CCEP, an instructor-track credential in cybersecurity education.

Currently, I conduct active adversarial testing against frontier large language models — running jailbreak analysis, prompt injection assessments, and misuse evaluations. I publish sanitized red teaming frameworks on GitHub to advance AI safety.

On the defensive side, I've worked in a live enterprise SOC at Hobby Lobby Corporate IS, deploying MISP threat intelligence automation and monitoring security events with Splunk.

02. Dual Expertise

I operate at the intersection of two critical security domains

SOC & Defensive Operations

Security Operations | Blue Team | Incident Response

  • SIEM & Monitoring Splunk Enterprise Security for log analysis, alert triage, and security event monitoring in production SOC
  • Threat Intelligence MISP deployment and Python automation for threat feed ingestion, enrichment, and distribution
  • Incident Response Structured IR workflows, forensic analysis, and post-incident documentation
  • GRC & Compliance Governance frameworks, risk assessment, and security policy alignment
Splunk MISP Imperva Python SIEM

AI Red Teaming & LLM Security

Adversarial Testing | Prompt Injection | AI Safety

  • Adversarial Testing Jailbreak analysis, prompt injection assessments, and misuse evaluation against frontier LLMs
  • Python Automation Automated adversarial test suites for scaled red teaming across model versions
  • Multimodal Analysis Image and document-based attack surface evaluation for vision-enabled models
  • Evaluation Frameworks Governance-aligned AI safety evaluation workflows with structured reporting
LLM Security Prompt Injection Jailbreak Analysis AI Safety Python

The Bridge

Threat modeling, structured methodology, and security mindset transfer seamlessly between traditional infrastructure and frontier AI systems. I bring enterprise security rigor to AI safety — and AI-native thinking to security operations.
