I work in cybersecurity at Baker Hughes, mostly inside Brinqa — vulnerability management, risk scoring, the stuff that keeps things from quietly falling apart. Day to day that means Qualys, BitSight, SecurityScorecard, and a lot of tickets.
Outside of work I build things. Web apps, Android tools, Figma mockups, whatever holds my attention. Python and Power Tools handle anything repetitive — I hate clicking the same button twice.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about AI and security — specifically how fast the attack surface is growing. When I need to stop thinking about it, I get on my bike and find a mountain road.
There's more going on than the LinkedIn headline suggests.
Vulnerability management, risk scoring, security automation. The work nobody notices until something breaks.
Web, Android, desktop. I build things when a spreadsheet isn't going to cut it.
Watching what happens when AI meets security. It's moving fast and most people aren't paying attention.
Mountain roads, long rides, bad weather. Photography when I remember to stop.
What I actually use, not just what's on the resume.
Things I built, mostly because I wanted to see if I could.
Android chat app with AES encryption. Built it because I didn't trust what was already out there.
Job portal — posting, searching, matching. Got obsessed with the filtering logic and it kind of shows.
Quiz app with live scoring. Small project, but I learned more from it than half my coursework.
JavaFX desktop app for stock tracking. My first real attempt at a proper UI — it shows, but it works.
Figma work — mostly interfaces I wanted to exist and nobody had built yet.
Landing pages, experiments, things that didn't quite work. Worth a look anyway.
When I'm not at a screen I'm usually on a bike, somewhere with bad roads and no signal. I started riding for the movement, kept at it for the photos, and now I mostly go because I get weird if I stay in the city too long.
Security work trains you to think about failure modes. Mountains have a lot of those. It's good practice.
Work stuff, random questions, whatever. I read everything.
