As a senior cyberspace capability developer in the Army, I have created AI and machine learning solutions for multiple defense organizations including the National Security Agency, Joint Special Operations Command, the Cyber National Mission Force, and Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber.

My professional focus areas encompass AI, adversarial machine learning, scalable and efficient algorithms, and the application of all toward cyberspace operations.

I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins University with Benjamin Van Durme. My research focused on efficient and composable adaptation of large language models — spanning LoRA routing and selection, reverse-engineered adaptation, and retrieval-augmented generation.
