Agentic AI Security Engineer

I build AI agents.
Then I build what stops them going rogue.

I design production multi-agent systems with LangGraph and AWS Bedrock — then bring an AWS Security Specialty and CEH background to harden them against prompt injection, tool misuse, and tenant data leakage before they ship.

Security depth meets agentic engineering

I'm a cybersecurity graduate student at the University of Maryland who spends most of my time somewhere most security people don't: inside the agent loop itself. I build the multi-agent systems — orchestration, retrieval, tool use — and then I build the guardrails that keep them from misbehaving in production.

That combination started at Kodryx AI, where I mapped LLM attack surfaces and shipped detection rules against real alert volume, and it sharpened at Tesslate, where I shipped full-stack features for a production AI platform and built the runtime tool-misuse guardrails that keep its coding agent in check, aligned to the OWASP Agentic Security (ASI02) risk class.

I'm not interested in security bolted on after the fact. I want to be in the room while the agent architecture is still being decided — because that's the only place these controls actually hold.

Where I've shipped this

May – Jul 2026
● Remote

Agentic Software Engineer Intern

Tesslate — OpenSail Enterprise
  • Shipped full-stack features end to end across a Next.js and React/TypeScript operator interface and a FastAPI orchestration backend, deployed via Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Integrated the orchestration layer with internal and external systems over MCP servers and REST APIs, unifying fragmented data sources behind one consistent service interface.
  • Root-caused and resolved 6 production defects spanning ORM relationship-loading, frontend error handling, and orchestration routing, cutting support escalations 25%.
  • Built runtime guardrails for the AI coding agent — prompt-injection detection, tool-call budget enforcement, loop detection, dangerous-sequence blocking — aligned to OWASP ASI02 and adopted across 8+ agent workflows.

Security Researcher

Kodryx AI
  • Automated SAST/DAST triage with a Python pipeline wired into Snyk and ServiceNow, cutting review time 40% with no added headcount.
  • Mapped 15+ LLM attack vectors — prompt injection, adversarial input, data leakage — and shipped guardrails that closed them across the org's AI feature pipeline.
  • Authored 5–10 detection rules across Splunk, ELK, and Chronicle SecOps mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, triaging 200+ monthly alerts and lifting detection accuracy 18%.
  • Served as the team's security point of contact, translating findings into CVSS-prioritized remediation roadmaps and raising overall security posture 30%.

Three systems, three failure modes closed

The featured builds below all share a shape: an agent that could do real damage, and a control that stops it.

Dec 2025 – Jan 2026

LLM-Augmented SOC Triage Engine

Routed normalized Splunk alerts through Claude API for AI-assisted triage, then caught a high-confidence hallucination via engineered failure tests — proof that model confidence isn't analyst accuracy.

Jan – Mar 2026

FlowPay — Cloud-Native Payment Orchestration

Payment platform handling authorization, capture, settlement, refunds, reconciliation, and webhooks through event-driven sagas with rollback and DLQ-backed SQS — so a duplicated event never leaves order state wrong. Built with Claude Code.

Spring BootReact/TSAWS
Sept 2023 – Mar 2024

Data Trustworthiness in Mobile Crowdsourcing

GAN + Random Forest pipeline to flag malicious crowdsourced contributors in real time; synthetic augmentation lifted classification accuracy from 78% to 99.4%.

Testing whether LLMs can be trusted with the alert queue

EAST-LLM: Evidence-Aware Architecture for Automated Alert Parsing & LLM Triage

Present
  • Architected a parser cascade normalizing heterogeneous alert formats (JSON, syslog, CEF/LEEF, Suricata EVE, Wazuh) into a unified evidence schema before any model inference runs.
  • Built a prompt-guided LLM layer that emits strict-schema, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned classifications — separating deterministic parsing from semantic reasoning by design.
  • Hardened outputs with an evidence-aware validation engine enforcing schema, taxonomy, and prompt-injection guardrails, evaluated across CICIDS2017, UNSW-NB15, and Splunk BOTS on F1 and unsupported-claim rate.
