Technical Skills

My technical skills are demonstrated through hands-on research and applied cybersecurity projects involving machine learning, computer vision, and adversarial attacks. I have developed physical adversarial patches using PyTorch to evaluate vulnerabilities in object detection and geo-localization systems, as well as trained and tested deep learning models on real-world datasets. Through these experiences, I gained practical insight into how modern AI-based systems operate and fail under adversarial conditions. This technical foundation allows me to approach cybersecurity challenges with both theoretical knowledge and real-world implementation experience.

Work Habits

My work habits are reflected in my ability to stay organized, detail-oriented, and consistent across long-term projects and internships. During my project management internship at INIT, I regularly prepared for meetings by tracking action items, maintaining documentation, and ensuring schedules were up to date. I valued the importance of preparation and follow-through, especially when coordinating across multiple teams and time zones. These habits allow me to contribute reliably in professional environments where organization and accountability are critical.

Soft Skills

I have demonstrated strong soft skills through collaboration with diverse teams across cybersecurity, education, and transportation technology. Working with colleagues from different departments and backgrounds strengthened my communication skills and taught me how to adapt my approach based on the audience. I regularly communicated updates, clarified technical information, and supported team coordination efforts. These experiences helped me develop interpersonal skills that are essential for effective teamwork and professional collaboration.

Knowledge of Key Technologies

I have applied key cybersecurity and technology tools throughout my academic and professional experiences. This includes working with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, object detection and segmentation models, and project management platforms like Smartsheet for workflow tracking and coordination. I have also designed educational materials covering topics such as IoT monitoring, ransomware, ERP systems, and cyber-physical systems. This broad exposure has strengthened my ability to learn and apply new technologies quickly and effectively.

Leadership & Project Management

I demonstrated leadership and project management skills by supporting training coordination and serving as a point of contact between internal teams and external stakeholders at INIT. I assisted in organizing training sessions, tracking progress, and following up on open items to ensure tasks were completed on schedule. Additionally, I have taken leadership roles in academic and research settings by guiding projects from planning through execution. These experiences prepared me to take initiative, support team success, and manage responsibilities in structured professional environments.

Key Artifacts

Research Paper I wrote summer 2024 for the National Science Foundation. This showcases my written communication skills as well as my knowledge of AI and adversarial patches.
