Work History
Security Engineer
1 Month- I ensure the system's human-in-the-loop safeguards remain resilient against adversarial manipulation and engineering exploits.
- I secure the secondary explanation engines, confidence scoring algorithms, and user-alerting mechanisms to prevent attackers from tricking operators into blindly trusting false outputs.
- By implementing strict data integrity controls, I also protect the feedback loops that teach users when to challenge the AI's recommendations.
- Ultimately, my role is to prevent malicious actors from exploiting cognitive biases to bypass critical safety checks.
