Security researcher and trumpet player
I work in vulnerability research, mostly on Apple devices and operating systems. I also play trumpet with big bands around Central Florida.
Research
I’m a vulnerability research engineer focused on Apple devices and operating systems, including both userland and kernel work.
My work includes reverse engineering, developing research tools and products, and documenting complex system behavior.
- Platform research
- Analyzing system behavior across Apple platforms.
- Reverse engineering
- Understanding how software works from compiled binaries.
- Tool building
- Building tools and products that support vulnerability research.
Tools Objective-C, C, C++, Python, LLVM, LLDB, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja
Selected work
A few public projects and examples of the kind of tools I build.
-
GoodNight
An iOS utility that adjusted display color using private APIs, built before Apple introduced Night Shift.
-
iRec
A screen recorder for iOS 7 and 8 that worked without a jailbreak.
-
Research tooling
Internal tools, prototypes, and experiments used in vulnerability research.
Music
I play lead trumpet with jazz and big band groups around Central Florida.
I minored in music at Florida Tech and played lead trumpet in Rhode Island’s All-State Jazz Ensemble before moving to the Space Coast.
These days, I play with the 3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra, Chief Cherry, the Space Coast Big Band, Josephine Swing, and other groups across Brevard County and Orlando.
