I’m a hacker and software engineer focused on AI, cloud, and software security.

I build systems that improve security at scale and independently research vulnerabilities in both open-source and closed-source products. My work has uncovered vulnerabilities in products including Docker and Ollama, led to multiple CVEs, and been presented at DEF CON.
