I build and secure high-traffic news, broadcast, and streaming platforms, and now research security, digital forensics, applied cryptography, and machine learning as a PhD student at Louisiana Tech.

ABOUT
Builder turned researcher.
Before the PhD I spent a decade running digital operations, web infrastructure, and live online broadcasting for media networks, production houses, and companies across 15 countries. That operator’s instinct now drives my research in security, digital forensics, applied cryptography, and machine learning. I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (4.00 GPA) and an ISACA cybersecurity certificate, and I am looking for a Summer 2027 internship in security, digital forensics, cloud and media infrastructure, AI/ML, or electrical and power systems.
RESEARCH FOCUS
Four threads, one question: what survives the next threat model.
Security & digital forensics
Steganography, steganalysis, content authenticity, and evidence integrity in adversarial settings.
Applied cryptography
What post-quantum signatures cost real distributed systems: compute, bandwidth, and storage at scale.
Cloud & media infrastructure
High-traffic news, broadcast, and streaming delivery: CDN, caching, and uptime under breaking-news load.
ML & signal processing
Speech, biometrics, and edge-deployed detection — from EWT to deep models.
