I'm an AI Researcher at Foundation-AI (Cisco), working on post-training, agentic behaviors, reasoning, and planning for security applications. I led the Splunk Enterprise Security deployment of a custom-trained Foundation-Sec-8B-1.1-Instruct, where an 8B model replaces Llama-70B and GPT-OSS-120B in production at 10-15x lower cost, and I'm a core contributor to Foundation-Sec-8B-Reasoning amongst the other Foundation-Sec family of models. Earlier, my disclosure of a 99.8% bypass of Meta's PromptGuard was patched by Meta.
With a Masters from CMU, my research explores foundation model vulnerabilities, privacy-preserving ML, and LLM security. I've been invited to OpenAI's Red Teaming Network and Anthropic's Model Safety Bug Bounty Program. Check out my website!
