About me.
A short version of who I am, what I'm working on, and how I like to work.
I'm a cybersecurity analyst and software developer based in Montreal. I work the SOC at Hitachi Cyber, triaging alerts, creating incidents, taking action on client environments, and coordinating with teams when something serious is unfolding.
Day to day I live in Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, Vectra, SentinelOne, Jira, and Confluence. We monitor a wide range of clients across industries, so I get to see a lot of different environments and attack patterns.
Alongside that I'm finishing a Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity at McGill, after a B.Sc. in Computer Science at Concordia. Earlier I was a Microsoft Product Engineer at CAE Montreal, building internal tooling and DevOps dashboards across hundreds of simulators.
I co-founded Graideon, an AI-assisted grading platform for professors, which is still up and running. It taught me a lot about the gap between academia and good tooling: how professors actually communicate with students, where the friction lives, and where careful software can move the needle.
Outside of paid work I keep one foot in offense — ISC2 CC, SC-200, AZ-900, the Google Cybersecurity Professional certificate, and ten-plus CTF competitions including a 5th-place finish at AtHacks 2024.
