Featured work

Work that made it to production.

18 shipped systems, each written up as a case study. Built to be used, not just launched.

Flagship · 2025 – 2026

UMBC CyberRange Portal

Production portal that provisions isolated VMware lab environments with SAML SSO, RBAC, and observability for the UMBC College of Engineering and IT.

  • Provisioned 100+ VMs/week with zero PII incidents
  • 90% faster lab setup compared to manual provisioning
  • <1 min SSO onboarding and automated role mapping

AI · SRE

2026

ApeironOps — Autonomous Incident Commander

Autonomous incident commander for verified software recovery: Microsoft Foundry-assisted agents that investigate incidents, block unsafe fixes, validate recovery, and generate postmortems.

  • Agents investigate incidents and propose fixes
  • Unsafe fixes are blocked before they ship
  • Recovery is validated, then postmortems are generated

AI/ML Research

2025

Neurosymbolic Transformers (Neural CEGIS)

Training framework that pairs neural networks with symbolic verification — a verifier finds constraint violations and feeds them back as targeted training data until violations reach zero.

  • Augmented Lagrangian with learned dual variables
  • Evidence-Conditioned Constraint Gating (ECCG)
  • Benchmarks: arithmetic, kinship reasoning, FEVER
