MILE 01 Β· WHO'S RIDING
Iβm a cybersecurity student at Indiana Universityβs Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, graduating in May 2028. I enjoy learning both the technical and broader sides of security, from working with vulnerability management, phishing simulations, and SIEM tools to understanding how cybersecurity impacts organizations and the world around us.

ML-powered static malware detector for Windows PE files, training Random Forest and PyTorch neural-network models on the EMBER2018/2024 benchmarks; the best model detects 79% of malware at a deployable 0.1% false-positive rate. Added SHAP explainability, a calibrated UNCERTAIN band, and a VirusTotal cross-check, served through a FastAPI web dashboard, CLI, and a Chrome extension that scans downloads in real time.
view code on github βBuilt a vulnerable-and-defended LLM-agent environment to evaluate indirect prompt injection, mock data exfiltration, system prompt leakage, and unsafe tool execution in a controlled sandbox. Implemented guardrails outside the model: least-privilege tool access, output encoding, and recipient restrictions.
