Prototype AI-powered document intelligence with Pfizer—using OCR, LLMs, and RAG to automate real enterprise PDF workflows and build a standout portfolio project.
Hands-on experience attacking and defending IoT systems, plus a practiced security playbook for real infrastructure.
I am an early-career cyber defense enthusiast with hands-on experience from an IoT security externship. I learned attack techniques such as spoofing and replay, and implemented defenses including TLS and mutual TLS while documenting a security playbook for real infrastructure.

Prototype AI-powered document intelligence with Pfizer—using OCR, LLMs, and RAG to automate real enterprise PDF workflows and build a standout portfolio project.
This externship prototyped an AI document-intelligence pipeline combining OCR, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation to process enterprise PDFs. The work documented how core LLM components function and how they integrate with OCR and retrieval services. Deliverables included conceptual diagrams and a technical explanation of LLM mechanics.
I researched and documented the fundamental mechanics of large language models and how they connect to OCR and retrieval systems, producing materials that explained the model components and integration points.
