About
I'm a sophomore at Wake Technical Community College, studying Business Administration with an Information Technology concentration. But the credentials came before the classroom — I co-authored the Cloud Security Alliance's AI Controls Matrix, evaluated frontier AI models for Handshake as a Generative AI Research Fellow, and shipped Lightmus, a live deepfake-forensics tool, solo end-to-end.
I founded the AI Club, chair the Programming Club (CTF competitions, network defense), and served as CIO & Product Lead of a wearable-tech startup through TiE Young Entrepreneurs. I build because building is how I think.

Selected Work
01 — Flagship
A live consumer authenticity engine that shows people the evidence behind digital content — and teaches them to spot fakes themselves. A four-stage image-forensics pipeline (provenance, error-level analysis, AI reasoning, source tracing) plus scam-and-phishing detection, each scored on its own so the verdict is never a black box. Built and shipped solo: FastAPI + React, Dockerized on a custom domain, WCAG-AA colorblind-safe UI.
02 — Autonomous Agents
A task-execution AI system built for true work delegation — not conversation. Five specialized agents (Orchestrator, Executor, Reasoning, Memory, and Risk) coordinate to plan, execute, and report on complex goals from a single plain-English prompt. You describe the outcome; Vigil owns every step — a background operator, not a chatbot. Targeting the $50B+ autonomous-agent market.
03
Co-founded a hydration-tracking wearable startup as CIO at TiE Young Entrepreneurs Regionals 2025. Sweat-sensing armband using skin-conductivity sensors + Bluetooth mobile app for real-time hydration monitoring. TAM $40–60B. Built working MVP.
04
Co-authored the Cloud Security Alliance's AI Controls Matrix — a published industry framework for governing AI systems in enterprise environments. 243 controls across 18 security domains. Recognized as a Subject Matter Expert by the CSA.
Experience
Evaluated frontier large language models including GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini against real-world task benchmarks. Contributed to training-data curation and reward-signal design to improve model alignment and output quality. Delivered product insights that directly influenced model development priorities and deployment decisions.
Led a 4-person team as CIO and Product Lead in TYE's competitive entrepreneurial program. Owned the full product roadmap for Oazis — a biosensing hydration-tracking wearable. Conducted user interviews and competitive analysis to validate the market opportunity, then pitched a polished MVP to a panel of business executives.
Recognized Subject Matter Expert contributing to multiple CSA working groups. Published author and reviewer across six CSA research papers covering AI governance, data security, offensive security, and medical AI.
All six publications — each with my role, proof, and the official CSA source — are showcased in the Publications wheel ↑.

What I'm Building
Most people my age are figuring out what they want to study. I'm figuring out what I want to ship next. My focus is on agentic AI systems, security automation, and tools that do real work — not demos.
