2LT, U.S. Army National Guard Cyber Officer (17A). By day, a Cyber Security Engineer at a defense systems integrator. After hours, I build security tools, detection labs, and AI-assisted workflows — most of them in production on my own infrastructure.
A detection lab spanning two states, an AI job-intelligence platform, an air-gapped vulnerability management tool, an RL attacker-vs-defender simulation, and an OSINT pipeline for scam takedowns.
A nine-source job discovery and outreach platform for federal and defense roles. Parallel scraping, AI scoring against your background, automated recruiter recon via Hunter.io, and gap and interview prep generated per role.
// sitrep-ai-job-intelligence-platform 2026An enterprise-grade detection lab spread across two states. Proxmox + OPNsense in Florida, an HP ProLiant DL360 in Iowa, Tailscale stitching them together. Splunk indexing 40k+ events shipped from Kali via Universal Forwarder.
// homelab-multi-site-security-lab 2026A Q-Learning attacker against a Deep Q-Network defender, competing in real time across Linux network namespaces over a GRE/IPSec tunnel. Raw socket packet construction in pure Python — no scapy, no hping3.
// aavsd-sim-adversarial-rl-network-security-simulation 2026An ACAS/Tenable.sc-style vulnerability management toolchain for RHEL 9 environments where the internet is not a given. OpenSCAP scans feed a SQLite store mapped against NIST 800-53. Stdlib Python only — no pip at runtime.
// lab5-vuln-mgmt-offline-vulnerability-management 2026An autonomous OSINT pipeline that investigates crypto scam infrastructure and drafts takedown notices. URLScan, WHOIS, passive DNS, and GPT-4o orchestrated end-to-end.
// scambusters-agent-osint-pipeline-for-crypto-scam-investigationActive operational roles across defense systems, critical infrastructure, enterprise IT, and DoD cyber.
Day-job blue team, off-hours research, and the boring infrastructure work that makes both possible.
A few weeks ago I published a post called “200 applications, 6 interviews, 0 offers.” It was an honest accounting of what the entry-level cyber job search actually…

Federal, defense contractor, or applied-security roles where the work matters and the team is sharp. Direct outreach is the fastest path — I read everything and reply quickly.
