IT + AI concentration, George Mason University
I'm into
IT major focused on AI and cybersecurity. I founded a security community that grew to 3,000 members, shipped tools used by thousands of people a day, and I am after a career building intelligent, secure systems.
01 / What I do
Experimenting with agentic AI and voice cloning to build tools that are smarter and more autonomous. It is the part of tech that feels wide open right now, and I want to build in it.
CTF competitions and security research, on both the offensive and defensive side. I have led teams, broken things on purpose, and this is where I want my career to go.
Full-stack and iOS apps that real people actually use, taken from a rough idea all the way to something shipped. I like the whole arc, not just one slice of it.
02 / Selected work
The projects I am most proud of, from a live iOS app to the proxy and the community behind it.
A free iMessage app that helps friend groups stop texting "wyd" and actually make plans. You pick a vibe, eats, night out, activities, chill, or outdoors, or let AI decide, then get real venue suggestions nearby. Everyone RSVPs right inside the chat without downloading anything, and a reliability score keeps the flakes honest. Only the person making the plan needs it installed.
A Chrome extension that takes the Tinf0il idea to the browser. It lifts restrictions on school and work devices by switching user agents, so you get a better browsing experience wherever you are. Built to be fast and simple, with a privacy-first promise that it never collects your data.
A clean, fast proxy portal built on Scramjet with a libcurl transport, made so you can browse, play, stream, and work privately. It includes tab cloaking, a big catalog of games, and a streaming interface, and it grew to thousands of users a day at its peak. The project that started it all under Aluminum Depot.
The organization behind Tinf0il. I founded it as a Discord community of curious people figuring out how locked-down school Windows machines really work, and how to work around them. It grew to 3,000 members at its peak, and running it taught me how to lead a team, ship tools people depend on, and build a culture around solving hard problems together.
03 / Experience & education
Built front-end and back-end features for a Human Resource Management system with TypeScript, Angular, the Spring Framework, Java, and MySQL on an Agile team. Reworked schema structures and optimized queries to cut page load time for employee lookups.
Pursuing a B.S. in Information Technology with a concentration in AI. Competing with the Mason Competitive Cyber Club, serving as PR Chair for my fraternity, and climbing with the Crux Climbing Club when I need to step away from the screen.
04 / Say hi
Recruiters, collaborators, or anyone who wants to talk about AI and security. My inbox is open.
