Professional Journey

From reverse engineering and security research to intelligent automation systems

Security Researcher & Reverse Engineer

Confidential (FinTech)
2025 – Present
Remote
  • Reverse engineer Android merchant APKs (DEX/Smali, native ARM, Frida instrumentation) to fully model their authentication and login flows
  • Replicate proprietary login handshakes as pure API clients, defeating client-side encryption, signing, and anti-tamper checks
  • Deliver the reverse-engineered login implementations that power the company's all-in-one (AIO) login platform, covering dozens of merchants with card-switching support
  • Conduct vulnerability research and bug bounty hunting across web and API targets (HackerOne), with a focus on authentication and injection flaws
  • Authored published offensive-security research on a novel PostgreSQL dollar-quoting blind SQL injection technique

Independent AI/Automation Engineer

Freelancing
2022 – 2025
Remote
  • Developed custom web scraping tools with anti-bot bypass capabilities (Cloudflare, PerimeterX, reCAPTCHA v3)
  • Bypass Cloudflare Turnstile captcha with Pure HTTP requests by fully reverse engineer the heavy obfuscated captcha module
  • Designed and deployed LLM-powered React Agent systems for automating data research and enrichment
  • Built high-resilience browser automation systems with rotating fingerprints (JA3, canvas, audioContext)
  • Integrated LangChain, RAG pipelines, and knowledge graph APIs to power intelligent lead-gen and customer insight tools
  • Created stealth infrastructure to simulate human-like browsing across 50+ concurrent sessions

Machine Learning Agent Developer

Involio
2022 – 2022
Remote
  • Developed and trained NLP classification models to detect and filter inappropriate or harmful user-generated content
  • Built automated moderation pipelines using Python, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow, reducing manual review workload by 70%
  • Fine-tuned transformer-based models (BERT, RoBERTa) for real-time sentiment and toxicity analysis on social media posts
  • Integrated content flagging API with front-end moderation dashboard for reviewer feedback loop

Software Developer

AdviNow Medical
2021 – 2022
Remote
  • Reversed engineered JavaScript-heavy platforms to automate complex UI-based interactions
  • Decrypted AES-based encrypted traffic to replicate secured browser sessions using raw HTTP requests
  • Successfully emulated entire user workflows with no browser dependencies, improving scraping speed by 300%

Restaurant Owner

Self-Employed
2019 – 2020
San Diego, CA
  • Founded and scaled a full-service restaurant, leading operations, finances, and marketing
