About the Author

Born and raised in Hamilton, New Jersey, I am now
residing in the DC metropolitan area after recently
becoming a George Mason University alum. While at
GMU, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in
Cybersecurity Engineering with a minor in Intelligence
Analysis. Along with writing technical pieces for CDM, I am
working full time at leading mobile security company,
NowSecure, as an Application Security Analyst where I do
all types of fun things like exploit vulnerable apps, secure
mobile application development, and contribute to exciting
projects and important initiatives that are consistently
highlighted thought the security industry. In addition, I also
work part time with startup company, Auspex Labs, as a
Cybersecurity Software Developer, where I am the main
TM
developer on Diplomacy , a geopolitical threat
intelligence engine that combines a broad assortment of
metrics and NLP sentiment analysis to calculate nuanced
and real-time threat scores per nation state. Working at
Auspex has been pivotal in my knowledge in creating
secure software and has given me the opportunity to not only develop my first product, but to
also start my own startup company, productizing the software and capabilities created in
TM
Diplomacy . Which brings me to my final endeavor, I am presently co-founder and CTO of
Xenophon Analytics, a company that grew from shared interests in international political affairs
and my project of building the geopolitical risk engine. When I’m not researching or coding, you
can find me watching anime, reading Sci Fi, painting, or playing with my dogs! My ultimate goal
in life is to learn every single day, and I’m proud to be doing just that. I love to chat about all
thing’s tech and security, so feel free to shoot me a message anytime.
