About Me

I am a security-focused software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, building scalable solutions for modern security teams.

I specialize in automation, integrations, and backend services that keep incident response resilient, with an emphasis on maintainable code and clear documentation.

I thrive in cross-functional settings, aligning stakeholders, analysts, and engineers around objectives, timelines, and measurable results.

  • Enterprise-grade SOAR automation and API integrations to streamline detection and response.
  • Architecture-minded approach that balances performance, security, and maintainability.
  • Collaborative communicator who connects engineering, operations, and leadership with clear updates and documentation.

    Work Experience

    Security Engineer II

    Charter Communications, Spectrum
    June 2024 - Present
    • Architected and deployed enterprise-scale SOAR automation workflows (using Swimlane) integrating systems such as EDR/endpoint tools, CMDB, asset-inventory APIs, vulnerability platforms, and internal tooling to automate incident identification, enrichment, correlation, and escalation.
    • Developed high-throughput data ingestion and enrichment pipelines (Python + REST APIs + JSON/XML parsing + rate-limit handling) to deliver normalized asset, alert, vulnerability, and threat data into the SOC ecosystem.
    • Led migration of SOAR applications and associated infrastructure into AWS, focusing on environment readiness, secure configuration, and workflow scalability across fault domains.
    • Crafted backend services, custom connectors, and microservices to support automated remediation actions, improving mean time to remediation (MTTR) and reducing manual triage burden.
    • Designed and documented security-automation architecture, including workflow maps, sequence diagrams, data flow diagrams, runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and SOPs.
    • Collaborated across detection engineering, threat intelligence, platform engineering, and SOC operations to validate integration specifications and align to incident-response SLAs.
    • Maintained an infrastructure-as-code or configuration-driven approach to version automation workflows, enable CI/CD pipelines for security tooling, and ensure reproducibility and auditability.

    Associate Software Engineer

    Charter Communications, Spectrum
    June 2023 - June 2024
    • Cybersecurity Cohort: Developed and implemented a data management application, orchestrated data ingestion from diverse platforms, and produced documentation to support cybersecurity processes.
    • IT Service Activation Cohort: Spearheaded a major integration feature, contributed to API integrations and UI development, and supported backend functionality for advanced application features.
    • Telemetry Cohort: Developed and maintained internal applications, participated in sprint planning and code reviews, and collaborated cross-functionally to initiate new telemetry projects.
