Lead Software Engineer (Applied AI & Security) · April 2025 – Present

Designed and engineered a multi-stage AI-powered phishing detection system (URL structure analysis → sandbox evidence → LLM-assisted interpretation) to systematically reduce false negatives in zero-day attack scenarios.
Implemented deterministic, code-enforced risk scoring and schema-constrained validation (Pydantic) to bound probabilistic LLM outputs and preserve security guarantees.
Architected domain reputation caching and scan-job deduplication, reducing inference latency and API costs under concurrent workloads.
Led a 5-engineer team through full-stack integration, evolving the system from a hackathon prototype into a production-oriented security service.
