About
I am a software engineer with 4+ years of experience building AI-powered security tooling and scalable production systems. I verify AI agent behavior with automated guardrails before outputs are trusted, and build cryptographic threat-detection pipelines that automate security workflows in CI/CD.
- Building an AI-powered PQC security assessment pipeline at iLink Digital that verifies cryptographic risk and AI agent output before deployment.
- Designed multi-agent systems for SmartCart AI and Supply Soul, pairing secure RAG pipelines with real production impact.
- Support peers as a teaching assistant and hackathon mentor, translating complex AI and security concepts into repeatable learning journeys.
