Who I am

I started inside AI — adversarial ML, model internals, the research side. I moved into security because that's where the work matters most right now: everyone is racing to deploy LLMs and agents, and almost no one securing them actually understands how the models think. That gap is what I work in. As Principal Developer at Automata I own a security product end to end; my research covers real-world prompt injection (including EchoLeak), adversarial attacks, and safety middleware for AI systems. The part I care about most is teaching it hands-on — which is what I'm building at QBTrain.
