A short timeline.

The places I've worked, what I studied, and the things I've earned along the way — newest first.

  1. Work

    2025 — Present

    SOC analyst on a multi-tenant team.

Plus the documentation, runbook fine-tuning, and Jira/Confluence hygiene that keeps the next shift fast.

    2024 — Present

    Co-Founder & former CTO·Graideon

    Co-founded an AI-assisted grading platform for professors and led its technical direction — Next.js, Flask, RAG over local models, PostgreSQL, Docker. Mostly past now but I still maintain it. The bigger takeaway was non-technical: how professors and students actually communicate, where academia's tooling falls short, and how much room there still is for thoughtful software in education.
