Built to Tinker.

I've spent years working in cybersecurity including but not limited to building detection pipelines, hunting adversaries through cloud infrastructure, and turning raw log data into something actionable. Finding solutions is less a skill than a habit; I tend to think several steps ahead, looking for ways to automate the repetitive, eliminate the unnecessary, and build things that don't need to be rebuilt.

Outside of security I'm a builder in the broadest sense. I have a long history with film photography and pick up my digital camera to document things worth remembering; being home for Mardi Gras, live music, the kind of moments that reward a fast lens and good timing. I cook from scratch, learn wherever I can, and tend to go deep on whatever subject earns my attention. I believe the best work comes from people who can think across disciplines, and I've spent a long time deliberately becoming that kind of person. Lately that includes working seriously with AI and large language models, not as a novelty but as a force multiplier for building things that are faster and capable of providing new insights.

I'm not afraid to tackle hard problems. Give me a clear goal, room to think, and access to the right tools. Or, if needed, I'll build those too.
