Past

Born at a very young age.

Was a software engineer in Microsoft’s security division, working primarily on Defender for Office before expanding into AI agent development across multiple Defender products.

MSFT 2022/2023: Architected and led development of the internal IPv4 IP allow/block system. Did the same thing for IPv6. If your IP is blocked by MSFT, then that was me. Stop doing bad stuff please.

MSFT 2023/2024: Architected and led development of the certificate rotation system and hash/encryption/decryption algos for all data for Microsoft Defender for Office. If you interact with any Office product today (Teams, Outlook) the code I built is securing your PII.

MSFT 2024/2025: Architected and led development of the data migration for Hotmail onto a non stone age infra.

MSFT 2025/2026: Built AI agents (and their core infra layer from scratch) for all the Defender orgs to protect against AI-based attack vectors and hyperpersonalized phishing attacks.

Studied Computer Science and AI/ML at the University of Pennsylvania.
