Security & Software

I lead macOS internals research focused on user-space security, undocumented APIs, and system behavior. Additionally, I serve as a specialist for macOS incidents.

I often collaborate with malware analysis, incident response, and threat intelligence teams to improve macOS detection engineering and reverse engineer Apple-specific threats. Lastly, I present at conferences and publish research on platform security.

I worked in offensive security engineering at Apple (’22-’24), and was a Cyber Risk and Advisory Intern at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (’21). I’ve also worked sporadically with the U.S. government.

While I was in university, I worked as a research assistant and teaching assistant for Open@RIT (’21 and ’22). I’ve also been involved with an extensive amount of technical projects, research, and publications.

Offensive Services LLC

Offensive Services

In its first six months, Offensive Services generated $45,000 in revenue as a solo offensive security consultancy. After relocating to New York City, I accepted a full-time role and paused independent engagements. I still own Offensive Services; it’s currently inactive and may be relaunched in the future. Thank you for your support.

I founded Offensive Services, a security consulting firm specializing in penetration testing, secure software design, and malicious tool development. The company was initially created to simplify how organizations could engage my expertise through formal contracts, moving beyond freelance arrangements.

As the team expanded, I saw an opportunity to promote greater transparency and open-source solutions within the security consulting industry. Although Offensive Services remains a small operation, we are driven by the ambition to grow into a hub for talented hackers and engineers. Our goal is to assemble a team of experts with diverse skills, dedicated to helping organizations protect their monetary assets and intellectual property.

Communication

I have extensive experience in social media and communication, regularly appearing in news articles, conferences, podcasts, and courses.

At present, I run a blog with +10,000 followers, and maintain active profiles on LinkedIn and X.

I’ve written for Cyber Defense Magazine. I also worked as a hostess, bookseller, and tutor.

Let’s collaborate!

Health & Fitness

After overcoming sepsis in 2023, I transformed my health through lifestyle changes while balancing two university courseloads, part-time work, and eventually graduating in the top 1% of my class. Since then, I have trained at large tech companies, universities, and independently across the United States and Europe.

In 2024, I founded OG Health & Fitness to help busy individuals improve their fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being.

Education

Rochester Institute of Technology

I graduated in August, 2025, and pursed three degrees at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT):

• Master of Business Administration – August ’25
• Bachelor of Science in Computing Security with a minor in Free and Open Source Software and Freedom Culture – May ’25
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration – December ’24

I was an Outstanding Undergraduate Award Scholar, the highest academic distinction at RIT. The scholars represent the top 1% of RIT’s student body, and roughly 1 or 2 students from each major receive it annually. In addition, I resided within RIT’s Honors Program, and I have been on the Dean’s List every semester (transcripts).

Unlike other universities, RIT’s Cybersecurity and Computer Science majors have almost no overlap, making their double-bachelor’s an 8.5-year program. I condensed RIT’s program into 4.5-years through course overloads and courses over school breaks.

Resume Updates

19 September 2022: I removed my visual resume from my blog, moving all content to LinkedIn. I displayed it because I felt visuals allowed for a more creative and thoughtful story. Unfortunately, there were two issues with displaying it on my website.

First, there was always a fear that someone may conflate my opinions with my employer’s. Although I have multiple disclaimers scattered throughout my blog, I decided to only display work experiences after completing them until further notice. Second, displaying my career history on my blog and LinkedIn involves updating two places. I did my best to move all of the content to LinkedIn and style it in a way that would be easy for readers to consume.

I was annoyed by both issues, so I opted to move everything to LinkedIn.
