About Me

At 24, I represent a new generation of cybersecurity professionals who seamlessly blend traditional security operations with cutting-edge AI automation. Currently serving as Security Engineer at Schoox LLC, I protect enterprise infrastructure across multiple global regions while developing AI-powered security solutions.

My journey from intern to security engineer is driven by one core principle: "If something can be automated, it must be automated." This philosophy has enabled me to operate as a 10x individual contributor, transforming security operations through intelligent automation.
