About Me

Machine Learning for security, Security for Machine Learning

I am passionate about exploring and broadening the potential of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in the field of Cybersecurity. Additionally, I focus on enhancing the security of Machine Learning systems to ensure their reliability and robustness. Currently, I'm a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at SentinelOne, where I work on developing advanced AI agents that tackle complex cybersecurity challenges. Previously, I was at Microsoft for over 13 years, most recently as a Senior Applied Scientist on the Microsoft Copilot for Security Core Research team, where I worked on pushing the boundaries of conversational and Agentic AI systems for cybersecurity operations, threat intelligence, and incident response. Before that, I led AI research in Microsoft's Security Research team, developing machine learning models that protect hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. It's an exciting journey of protecting and defending against threats, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Writing


The difference between screwing around
and science is writing it down
– Adam Savage

I spend the majority of my time engrossed in conducting experiments or contemplating the various applications of Machine Learning.
However, there are moments when it becomes imperative to put thoughts into writing.

Speaking

No audience ever complained about
a presentation or speech being too short
― Stephen Keague

I spend a significant amount of time engaged in conversations, although the majority of my speaking takes place within Microsoft. Occasionally, when I communicate externally, I tend to do so in Spanish, my native language. Here are few instances where I had the opportunity to engage in external communication.
