Building
txScout is a real-time cryptocurrency forensics tool that scores wallet risk against sanctions, mixer and scam intelligence, and then traces the fund flows and displays them visually.

I'm an IT & Cybersecurity professional finishing a B.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at WGU. I've helped support hundreds of US Census endpoints, and I currently administer a multi-node Windows Server infrastructure for my own online business. On my own time, I've built on-chain forensics tooling txScout, which evaluates wallet risk against sanctions, mixer and scam intelligence and then traces the funds to see where the money actually went.

What I'm working on
A snapshot of where my attention is. I update this as things change.
Learning
Finishing my B.S. in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance at Western Governors University, and working toward my CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certifications. Beyond coursework, most of my study goes into cryptocurrency and blockchain analysis: how stolen funds move between wallets, mixers and exchanges, and how investigators attribute an exploit to the people behind it.
Selected work
Projects
Projects I've built in my own time, based purely on topics I've been learning or am interested in.
Real-time Ethereum forensics in Python. Labels addresses against sanctions, mixer and scam intelligence, assigns an explainable risk score, and traces fund flows on a graph. Reconstructed the 2023 Euler Finance exploit from attacker wallet to Tornado Cash using only public data.
