Security engineer in Singapore

I help teams understand a security problem, then build the thing that shows how to solve it. Identity, AI agents, vulnerability risk, and regulation, explained for the people who have to decide.

CVE, CVSS, EPSS, KEV: The Vulnerability Alphabet, Finally Explained

Explaining a technical system to people who are not security engineers.

Your Org Is Hiring Workers You Can't See: An Identity Playbook for AI Agents

Turning a new risk into a concrete, step-by-step solution design.

The Blog Watches the Watchers: Building a Threat-Intel Page With No Servers

Building a working system end to end, and showing how it holds up.

Security Feeds Pipeline

For security teams without a threat-intel budget

A self-updating threat-intelligence page: around twenty sources (CISA KEV, NVD, GitHub Advisories, abuse.ch, malware news, AI-security research) normalised into one view and scored by a deterministic KEV/CVSS/EPSS risk engine. No servers, no database.

Vendor Breach Watch

For GRC and third-party risk owners

A supplier watchlist checked twice a day against public breach and incident sources. A match opens one deduplicated GitHub issue with source links and a remediation checklist, so 'is any vendor of ours in the news?' gets answered automatically.

Password Exposure Checker

For teams explaining credential risk to non-technical staff

Check whether a password has appeared in known breaches without the password, or even its full hash, ever leaving the browser. Built to be shown, not just used: the page explains exactly what is sent and why that is safe.

Stop Patching by CVSS Alone: A Three-Signal Triage Formula That Fits on a Sticky Note

26/09/2026

CVSS tells you how bad a vulnerability could be, EPSS tells you how likely exploitation is, and KEV tells you it's already happening. Used together, they turn the CVE firehose into a defensible patch queue.
