Software engineer building security automation — the APIs, pipelines, and agentic workflows that turn security findings into fixes.
Senior Software Engineer at Lineaje · MSCS from Northeastern
About
I've spent most of my career building software for security teams. At McAfee that meant putting machine learning models behind production APIs for malware detection, and learning what it takes to run them reliably at scale. At Lineaje it meant software supply chain security — SBOMs, vulnerability aggregation, and secret scanning — before I went back for a Master's in Computer Science at Northeastern, finished in May 2025, focused on distributed systems and cloud-native architecture.
Today I build security automation end to end: detection-to-remediation workflows across source code and OSS dependencies, event-driven pipelines and OpenSearch-backed datasets in the hundreds of millions of documents, and agentic systems that pair LLM reasoning with deterministic, auditable engineering. Most of it ships alongside the security engineers who use it, which is the part I like: tooling only counts if people adopt it.
Alongside the technical work I've spent a lot of time on leadership, mentorship, and teaching at Northeastern, and was honored with the Laurel and Scroll 100 award under the Society of Distinctions, and the Emerging Graduate Student Leader Award. I'm drawn to product security and platform teams building the automation that protects everything else — systems that are robust, explainable, and genuinely production-ready.
What I work on
- Agentic security automation
- Detection-to-remediation workflows where LLM reasoning is wrapped in deterministic, auditable engineering.
- Data platforms at scale
- Event-driven pipelines and OpenSearch-backed datasets spanning 100M+ documents.
- Cloud-native on AWS
- Services, queues, and CI/CD that scale without surprises or 3 a.m. pages.
- Engineers as customers
- Forward-deployed work with security teams, building tooling they actually adopt.
