About
I work at the intersection of cybercrime, financial fraud, and threat intelligence, with a particular interest in how human behavior, language, and technology shape digital threats. My background spans language studies and financial crime investigations, so I approach security problems not simply as technical vulnerabilities, but as systems of people, incentives, infrastructure, and behavior.
