Work

Automated vulnerability research for embedded devices. Rehosts binary firmware under QEMU, drives AFL++ fuzzing and Semgrep triage, and hands candidates to an LLM for analysis. Several zero-days found; one reproduced on physical router hardware and in coordinated disclosure with the vendor.

Autonomous CTF solving framework in Python. One AI controller per challenge, executing only policy-approved commands in isolated Docker containers, with prompt-injection quarantine and operator-gated flag submission. Placed 2nd in US/Canada at the CSAW CTF Qualifiers 2026.

Co-authored an IEEE-format paper with a faculty advisor on surfacing concurrency, classifier, and RFID/EEPROM bugs in smart-home gateways by recording multi-stream peripheral evidence in emulation. Finalist, CSAW Embedded Security Challenge 2026.

Founded and lead UGA’s applied cybersecurity club: 300 members, 10+ workshops, national placements across 10+ competitions. Built thehackpack.org, a training platform with 50+ practice challenges on isolated instances and built-in competition hosting.

R&D lead for a clinic providing free CIS IG1 security reviews to Georgia small businesses and local governments. Standardized the review framework, designed summer camps for high school students, and presented the model at national conferences.

Cofounder. A workspace for early-stage teams that keeps work and money on one database, with an MCP server so AI assistants can act on it. Live at zetadeck.com.

Automated security compliance for pre-seed startups, starting with a free SOC 2 gap-analysis scanner. Built on Cloudflare Workers and Supabase.

An agent-native 3D game engine under Overshock Studios: a headless C++20 core with a documented world API that humans and AI agents edit through, plus Vulkan rendering and an optional desktop editor. I architect it and direct the agents that build it. Source on GitHub.
