Experience

 
 
 
 
 
Palantir Technologies
Forward Deployed Engineer
Apr 2025 – Present New York, United States
Collaborating with enterprise organizations to design and implement quantitative decision-making platforms, leveraging rigorous data analytics and fault-tolerant distributed systems to solve mission-critical business challenges at scale.
 
 
 
 
 
Balbix
Senior AI Engineer
Jan 2024 – Apr 2025 New York, United States (Remote)
Led the evolution of cybersecurity through artificial intelligence and advanced risk quantification at Balbix.

As a key member of the Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) group within Balbix’s AI Team, I transformed complex cybersecurity data into actionable financial insights that bridge the gap between technical teams and executive decision-makers.

Key Achievements:
• Architected and implemented an innovative ‘Next Best Steps’ feature that revolutionizes how organizations prioritize cybersecurity initiatives. By leveraging Game Theory’s Shapley values, I developed a sophisticated pipeline that quantifies the financial impact of individual vulnerabilities across enterprise networks. This empowers IT teams with clear, high-impact action items while providing executives with precise risk visibility. Technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, Delta Lake, FastAPI, PostgreSQL.
• Spearheaded the redesign of Balbix’s core asset valuation engine following the launch of Balbix D3. Created a unified mathematical model that dynamically assigns monetary values to all asset types (devices, applications, users) based on customer-specific parameters. To optimize performance and reduce operational costs, I engineered an efficient pipeline using Delta-RS and DuckDB. This foundation powers all CRQ capabilities across the platform. Technologies: Delta-RS, DuckDB, Apache Airflow, Delta Lake, FastAPI, PostgreSQL.
• Created a Loss Exceedance Curve analytics tool that estimates the probability of surpassing defined financial loss thresholds over a year across diverse cyber attack scenarios. Leveraging advanced mathematical modeling and optimized computation techniques, this solution integrates multiple risk factors to deliver real-time, actionable insights tailored for each customer and asset group. The framework seamlessly works with our asset valuation process, enabling clear, customized risk assessments. Technologies: Python, Airflow, FastAPI, Numpy, Pandas, and PostgreSQL.
• Optimized Balbix’s cloud infrastructure to reduce cost of Apache Spark services by 50%.
 
 
 
 
 
Balbix
AI/ML Co-Op
May 2023 – Dec 2023 San Francisco Bay Area, United States
During the Summer 2023, I perfomed an internship at Balbix within the AI/ML Team to help them improve their modelization of risk’s over a network and develop a new scoring metric for prioritizing vulnerabilities' resolution.

I continued my work at Balbix during the Fall 2023 semester as a part-time intern while finishing my studies at Columbia University. I worked on improving Balbix’s CRQ model using new datasets and state-of-the-art modeling techniques.

Key Achievements:
• Architecting machine learning models using graph theory and MITRE’s CAPEC dataset to enhance Balbix’s Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) platform, which quantifies cyber risk exposure and potential financial impact in business terms ($, €, £, ¥).
• Pioneered a novel cyber risk scoring methodology using Shapley values to help clients intelligently prioritize 1000s of vulnerabilities' mitigations based on potential financial impact. The approach considers each vulnerability’s marginal contribution to overall network risk, providing more nuanced insights than traditional CVSS scores.
• Optimized scoring algorithm runtime by 500%, compared to base implementation, by parallelizing computations in Apache Spark using PandasUDF, enabling hourly updates of risk scoring of millions of devices and vulnerabilities.
• Developed, using Dynamic Programming, a risk propagation model on a network of assets leveraging MITRE ATT&CK Framework adding additional data to my previous work.
• Created a cybersecurity handcrafted dataset to test my model and verify our assumptions.
