Security Research & High-Performance Engineering

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
— Viktor E. Frankl

I have my B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Math at UNM and starting my M.S in Computer Science at Georgia Tech 08/26. I run an IT and security consultant business called Trinity Intel. I spend a lot of time learning, helping people, and in my garage building things or in my homelab working on a cluster I built. I'm interested in security research, high-performance engineering, and software development for the greater good. I like figuring out how things work at the bottom of the stack to the highest levels of abstraction.

Systems & Research

[HADES]

R&D 100 award-winning malware analysis platform. Supported a 40-rack research lab — owned infrastructure, networking, automation, and tooling. Built a serial log routing system using a Cisco 3650 for capturing kernel panic data in environments where network traffic would blow our cover.

[LRI Search Engine]

Petabyte-scale indexing for indicator-of-compromise searches. Full-text search was too slow, so I built low-resolution indexing inspired by RocksDB (LSM trees, bloom filters) to narrow queries before hitting Splunk. Hours to sub-millisecond.

[Trinity Intel]

My security consultancy. IT infrastructure, firewall policies, EDR, least-privilege access for local firms. Also built Python automation for sports science performance analysis — long story.

[Protocol Deconstruction]

Reverse engineered and documented proprietary protocols for ICS and SCADA systems (Siemens, GE, Schneider Electric) to support cyber defense tooling and anomaly detection research.

Interests

Build

  • - Woodworking — chair, shed with a balcony, custom lathe (built the motors and fixtures myself)
  • - Welding, circuits, EE stuff when I have time
  • - Cycling

Homelab

  • - 2-node cluster: InfiniBand interconnects, Warewulf, Slurm, Spack
  • - Proxmox hypervisor: Pi-hole, Cuckoo sandbox, Kali, Windows malware VM
  • - Cisco L2 managed switch, VLANs, Grafana dashboard
  • - Where I break things and waste time

Shelf

  • - East of Eden, Brothers Karamazov, Hitchhiker's Guide
  • - Mechanical watches
  • - Chess (learning, pretty average right now)
