Turning noisy telemetry into clear signal: malware analysis automation, endpoint defense, and detection engineering.

About

I turn repetitive security analysis into tooling that scales.

I'm a security analyst at Medco, working remotely across endpoint and email security. Where I'm headed is security automation: building tooling and putting AI systems like Claude to work so that repetitive analysis becomes a workflow instead of a chore.

I hold a B.S. in Information Technology from Florida International University and a CompTIA Security+ certification. Most of my projects start as a problem I got tired of doing by hand, so I automate it.

MAAT

Flagship

Malware Analysis Automation Tool

A command-line pipeline that triages suspicious files without detonating them. MAAT fingerprints a file by its magic bytes, hashes it in a single stream, and checks reputation through hash-only VirusTotal lookups, so the sample never leaves your machine. Analyzers dispatch by file type, findings feed an additive, explainable score, and the full run renders to a self-contained HTML report.

  • Python
  • YARA
  • VirusTotal API
  • oletools
  • pefile
  • pikepdf
  • Jinja2

Turns a manual, tool-hopping triage workflow into one reproducible command.

DeviceGuard

In Development

Windows device & driver monitor

A Windows desktop monitor for the devices and drivers that antivirus tends to overlook. Built in PyQt6 with a dark, operator-focused UI, it watches connected devices, runs YARA scans, flags unsigned drivers, and surfaces Windows Defender status in a single pane.

  • PyQt6
  • YARA
  • Windows Defender
  • Python

Extends endpoint visibility to the driver layer, where unsigned code often slips by.
