Software engineer building practical tools for the AI era
I have worked on agents for wealth planning, AI for reverse engineering, automated malware analysis, and custom software for clients.
Ph.D. in Computer Science from Vanderbilt. I build custom tools, agent systems, and software across various industries.
Selected work
angr MCP
Lets AI agents drive angr's binary analysis over MCP.
Tap to flipAn angr-management plugin where agents can decompile, run symbolic execution, and annotate the GUI live.
Ghidra MCP
MCP server for AI reverse engineering in Ghidra.
Tap to flipA fork of LaurieWired's GhidraMCP with 105+ tools so agents can rename, decompile, and triage binaries on their own.
Anvil
Optimization runs for vehicle design exploration.
Tap to flipCombines FreeCAD, OpenFOAM, and Bayesian optimization for automated CAD-CFD evaluation across air, land, and sea vehicles.
KASTRO
Lightweight vulnerability prediction using adapted LLMs.
Tap to flipUses adapter layers and abstract syntax trees to predict CWE labels from C source code without requiring heavyweight deployment.
MIMOSA
Vision-enabled dynamic analysis pipeline for evasive malware.
Tap to flipCategorizes and analyzes evasive malware using computer vision to provision samples on carefully configured VMs, avoiding detection triggers.
Piezo PUFs
Patented anti-counterfeiting technology for detecting counterfeit goods in transit.
Tap to flipLeverages non-destructive evaluation with fuzzy matching algorithms using piezoelectric signatures.
Retinal Vessel Analysis
Random walker algorithm to segment blood vessels in retinal fundus images.
Tap to flipUses ITKSnap Python API for segmentation with the random walker algorithm. Examines fractal dimension as a biomarker for retinopathy.
