Leading a specialized security research and development lab focused on bridging the gap between low-level system telemetry and autonomous AI detection loops. I architect "secure-by-design" infrastructure and agentic security workflows to solve complex threat detection challenges in distributed environments. Key Initiatives & Technical Ownership: - Linux Kernel Telemetry: Engineered the NovaCortex-Sentinel ecosystem, utilizing C-based Linux Loadable Kernel Modules (LKM) and Netlink Sockets for real-time syscall interception and process forensics. - AI-Agentic Orchestration: Developed NovaSentry-X, a Splunk-based orchestration layer that leverages LLMs to automate 100% of initial threat triage for simulated identity risks, reducing manual analyst intervention by 80%. - Behavioral Risk Engines: Architected CortexAI, an explainable AI (XAI) engine that scores user behavior and network traffic using Policy-as-Code principles to trigger automated remediation. - Threat Intelligence (CTI): Built CortexNexus, an automated ingestion platform normalizing intelligence from AlienVault OTX and the Abuse.ch suite to streamline IoC correlation. Tech Stack: Go (Golang), Python, C (Kernel), Rust, Splunk SDK, Docker, Kubernetes, Netlink, YARA.
