About This Terminalv2.6
EYES ONLY

You found the dead drop.

This portfolio was built as a proof of concept
that the same analytical rigor applied to intelligence problems
can be applied to how we present intelligence work.

Every design choice here mirrors a tradecraft principle:
Layered access. Compartmentalization. Need-to-know.
The surface is the cover story. The depth is the intelligence.

Graduate intelligence analyst specializing in counterintelligence, cognitive security, and the defense of analytical judgment against adversarial manipulation.

Background

I study how adversaries corrupt the information environments that analysts depend on — and how structured reasoning can defend against that corruption. My work sits at the intersection of intelligence tradecraft, cognitive science, and AI security.

My research focuses on whether Structured Analytic Techniques — the IC’s standard defenses against cognitive bias — can also protect AI-assisted analysis from deliberate adversarial contamination. Before graduate school, I served in refugee resettlement with USCRI, worked as a certified EMT since 2010, and served as a frontline pharmacy technician during COVID-19.

I am targeting counterintelligence analyst positions within the Intelligence Community, with particular focus on cognitive operations and adversarial manipulation of analytical systems.
