What I work on

Offence-informed defence

Research areas

Threat Intelligence

Real-time raw threat intel generation, analysis and attribution.

Red Teaming

Simulating advanced attacks to measure real-world readiness.

Incident Response

Leading investigations and turning findings into hardening.

Vulnerability Assessment

Pen-testing, grey/black-box testing and passive OSINT recon.

Turning raw signals into decisions

My current research builds real-time threat intelligence from raw data — collecting, correlating and enriching indicators so defenders can act before an intrusion becomes an incident.
