About Me
you can outsource your thinking but you cannot outsource your understanding.
I'm a problem-driven engineer who builds things end to end — from offensive security tools to autonomous AI agents. I enjoy solving hard problems and turning ideas into practical products.
My interests are at the intersection of AI and security: autonomous offensive security, adversarial AI testing, red teaming, and hands-on labs. Continuous learning is not optional for me — it's how I stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field.
