Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer | Embedded Systems | Vehicle Software Verification
Automotive cybersecurity engineer and vehicle software verification analyst focused on embedded systems, connected vehicle software, ECU diagnostics, secure software update validation, and in-vehicle network analysis.
I currently support Ford Smart Architecture software verification and infrastructure workflows through TEKsystems. My work includes analyzing ECU deployment, configuration, flash, diagnostic, and software-integrity failures using UDS behavior, CAN data, XML artifacts, software records, and engineering evidence.
I am pursuing dual Master of Science degrees in Cybersecurity and Software Engineering at the University of Advancing Technology, with specializations in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics/Embedded Systems.
Clean-room Python analyzer for synthetic UDS traces, diagnostic-session and SecurityAccess state tracking, negative-path validation, programming-sequence checks, and evidence export to Markdown, JSON, and CSV.
Automotive cybersecurity assurance prototype connecting a synthetic vehicle architecture, TARA risks, technical requirements, controls, evidence, SBOM findings, detection validation, cybersecurity claims, and release-gate decisions.
Specification-driven UDS validation tool that compares observed ECU behavior with machine-readable diagnostic requirements, derives session and security state, evaluates protocol preconditions, and exports V&V findings and trace metrics.
C# and .NET automotive diagnostic workbench for ISO-TP reconstruction, UDS service decoding, DID and NRC analysis, XML parsing, and structured diagnostic-log review.
Python and SocketCAN laboratory project demonstrating UDS Diagnostic Session Control and Security Access through a deliberately weak seed-key implementation on a controlled virtual CAN network.
Embedded computer-vision project deploying an Edge Impulse FOMO model to an ESP32-CAM for real-time detection of automotive key fobs and J2534 vehicle communication interfaces.
Embedded automotive cybersecurity, UDS ISO 14229, CAN and CAN-FD, ISO-TP, ECU diagnostics, secure diagnostic access, software update validation, cybersecurity assurance, Python, C#, .NET, SocketCAN, ESP32, SQLite, pandas, pytest, and GitHub Actions.
