Work XP

My current focus is on combining AI with cybersecurity to build intelligent, adaptive defense systems that can detect and respond to threats autonomously, including work on automotive network security and real-time IDS deployment. I approach learning by building. Every concept I study is backed by implementation, testing, and improvement. My goal is to engineer security systems that are not just functional, but reliable, scalable, and capable of handling modern attack surfaces.
