Mission History
June 2024 - Present
Cyber Analyst (Prev. Risk and Advisory Intern)
Deloitte // Dallas/Austin
CLIENT: Hospitality and Lodging Company (Revenue: $35B+)
- Designed and executed a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) statistical model to measure the true financial ROI of global property renovations, successfully isolating the uplift of core KPIs (RevPAR, ADR, Occupancy) from organic market noise.
- Developed a rigorous, two-stage control group matching algorithm in Python to pair renovated properties with highly correlated unrenovated comparables based on physical traits and financial baselines.
- Automated the generation of executive-ready visual reports, designing dynamic, multi-tiered Seaborn visualizations to clearly communicate complex uplift distributions across dozens of global brands.
INTERNAL: AI / ML Model Foundry Team
- Engineered an AI-augmented Static Application Security Testing (SAST) pipeline utilizing Python, LangGraph, and Semgrep to automate codebase security auditing.
- Integrated an LLM with Pydantic structured outputs to triage raw Semgrep findings, effectively pruning false positives by analyzing the codebase context like a senior security engineer.
- Automated threat intelligence gathering by dynamically querying the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) API for real-world CVEs and generating specific CWE mitigation strategies.
- Designed a stateful, conditional execution graph using LangGraph's StateGraph and MemorySaver to implement a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) workflow, pausing execution for manual reviewer feedback before generating a final Markdown report.
CLIENT: Medical Provider (Revenue: $30B+)
- Migrated privacy assessment automation from ServiceNow to Onetrust, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.
CLIENT: Insurance Provider (Revenue: $60B+)
- Improved data security posture by using Varonis for in-depth statistical analysis of scans, reducing false positives.
- Implemented NetSkope policies to prevent data leakage.
- Advanced a strategic IT overhaul by applying cybersecurity principles to analyze cloud integration.
- Developed new strategies for protecting PII.
May 2023 - Aug 2023
Software Engineering Intern
General Motors // Austin
- Accelerated the deployment of on-prem analytics projects by architecting a new CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and YAML.
- Streamlined the machine learning lifecycle by developing Python scripts for automation, allowing for one-click deployment of code and SQL files from Git to Databricks.
- Increased team efficiency by authoring documentation for the backend workflow, standardizing the team's workflow.
Jun 2022 - Aug 2022
Labs Intern
CodeDay Labs // Remote
- Engineered a complete NLP pipeline in Python to analyze sentiment from COVID-19 vaccine tweets, leveraging Pandas and NumPy.
- Translated raw data into actionable insights by creating interactive visualizations with Plotly and Seaborn.
