Work Experience

Node.js and TypeScript Developer

2024 - PRESENT
SandboxAQ
  • Built a real-time event-driven pipeline for discovering cryptographic assets across 15+ AWS services (EC2, ECS, EKS, RDS, S3, KMS, etc.). Designed a PostgreSQL service cache with per-tenant isolation and managed Kafka and IAM provisioning.
  • Led a full Python-to-Kotlin rewrite of the Palo Alto Networks integration: TLS session inspection, certificate extraction, and firewall log forwarding. Built GraphQL APIs, DB models, React UI, and resumable uploads for large datasets.
  • Built the Qualys integration end-to-end, from API client to production Temporal workflows. Mapped TLS scan data to platform protobufs with cipher suite analysis and downgrade detection, and designed robust ingestion error handling with retries.
  • Built a full-stack Azure integration for cryptographic asset discovery, with Workload Identity Federation (AWS-to-Azure) for credential-less auth. Orchestrated Temporal workflows and delivered the React UI, GraphQL API, and Terraform onboarding.
  • Built a GitLab CI/CD Component integrating cryptographic static analysis into pipelines. Runs on merge requests to scan code for weak, outdated, and quantum-unsafe cryptography, generating a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM).
  • Worked on an enterprise AI security platform giving organizations visibility and control over generative AI use — covering data loss prevention, prompt injection defense, and AI governance across leading LLM providers at scale.
