Senior Technical Expert in Cybersecurity at Walmart Global Tech.
I am currently employed as a cybersecurity researcher at Walmart within the Incident Management area at Walmart. There I direct cybersecurity research on throught the organization at Walmart in an effort to increase the security posture of the organization. I work on the Threat Hunting team and work with some amazing security practitioners.
In a nutshell, I'm a Human and Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher interested in cybersecurity and usable security. I'm particularly interest in how individuals interact with security technologies. These interests have led me to study a variety of different topics with a lot of really cool researchers.
During my time as a PhD student, I was able to work at some pretty amazing places. I interned with
Walmart's Information Security group (InfoSec), which is apart of their Cybersecurity division,
and I also had the opportunity to work at a federally funded research
and development center (FFRDC) at MIT LL
My academic advisors were Dr. Stephanie Jordan
and Dr. Johannes M Bauer
I am also formerly associated with the BIT lab run by Dr. Rick Wash
