Work Experience

Security Engineer at UMUCYO AI
August 1, 2026 - Present
Ensured the system’s human-in-the-loop safeguards remain resilient against adversarial manipulation and social engineering-style exploitation. Worked on securing feedback loops that teach users when to challenge the AI’s recommendations, and implemented measures to prevent malicious actors from bypassing critical safety checks. Focused on improving defensive logic such as secondary explanation engines, confidence/scoring algorithms, and user-alerting mechanisms that reduce the risk of attackers tricking operators into blindly trusting false outputs. Emphasized strong data integrity controls to protect the training/feedback pipeline from tampering.
