Building security systems people actually trust and use. I combine cybersecurity analysis, human-centered design, and AI-assisted product thinking to make digital safety clearer, safer, and more usable.
About Me
I focus on human-centered cybersecurity: building systems, workflows, and security communication that people can actually understand, trust, and use under pressure.
My work connects cybersecurity analysis, secure UX thinking, AI-assisted documentation, and product-minded security projects. I care about reducing alert fatigue, preventing unsafe workarounds, and translating technical risk into clear decisions for users, teams, and organizations.
Professional memberships: ISC2 Tampa Bay Chapter and OWASP.
Client Work, UX Case Studies & Cybersecurity Labs
Each project highlights the problem addressed, process, and available evidence so recruiters and prospective clients can understand the security thinking, product-building ability, and human-centered impact quickly.
Built an AI-assisted market research and paper-trading workflow with protected API access, validation checks, human approval controls, and auditable activity logs.
Built a Google AI Studio active-defense application that generates context-aware decoys, ingests threat telemetry, records incidents, and supports SIEM forwarding and SOAR-style response workflows.
Solved the conflict between e-commerce conversion and account security by adding transparent checkout cues, password resilience feedback, and secure-by-default trust patterns.
Built a SOC triage workflow that solves alert fatigue by clustering repeated auth events into one prioritized investigation path with clearer severity, context, and response actions.
Solved vulnerability overload by turning scan output into prioritized remediation cards with severity, affected service, evidence, and practical patch guidance.
Designed a secure cloud baseline that solves misconfigured admin-access risk by provisioning infrastructure with restrictive security groups and explicit access controls.
Built a PKI lab that solves the mystery of browser trust by creating a root CA, signing CSRs, deploying TLS, and testing certificate-chain failures.
Solved boundary exposure problems by designing firewall ACLs, NAT rules, and validation tests to reduce visible services during simulated reconnaissance.
Technical Practice
My home lab gives me a controlled environment for practicing network defense, system administration, traffic analysis, incident investigation, and clear technical documentation.
A virtual environment used to test security controls, observe system behavior, and document repeatable defensive workflows.
Each lab connects technical activity to an understandable security decision rather than presenting tools without context.
Gather signals and organize repeated noise into a clearer picture.
Evaluate severity, evidence, and affected systems to decide what comes first.
Propose practical containment, remediation, or follow-up actions.
Translate technical findings for both technical and nontechnical audiences.
Thought Leadership
How visual transparency prevents security analysts from bypassing automated alert models — and why Explainable AI is a UX mandate, not just an engineering goal.
Why my UX background is my primary engine for building structural digital resilience — and how I came to understand that “human error” is always a design failure.
Why data displays are the first line of defense against advanced persistent threats, and how designing for high-stress comprehension directly reduces threat dwell time.
