AI-Augmented Security Research · Software Engineering · Technical Strategy I find what others miss and deliver it in plain language. I build what others only sketch.
Every project here was designed, built, documented, and delivered end-to-end by one person — without a boss, a team, or a budget. AI used as a genuine force multiplier, not a crutch.
Flagship: Novel Malware Discovery
Discovered and published the first public analysis of an undocumented malware strain that evaded 5+ commercial AV solutions (Microsoft Defender, Malwarebytes, ESET, RogueKiller). Core malicious DLL had zero VirusTotal detections at discovery. Documented ETW patching, ntdll unhooking, hardware-breakpoint AMSI bypass, Lua-driven evasion chain, and .NET payload delivery — with published IOCs and a YARA rule.
