Marco has worked on feature development and operational technology security research during a summer internship, and has supported Air Force clients on critical-infrastructure security projects. Marco is strongest at entering unfamiliar technical domains, conducting the necessary research, making architecture and design decisions, and then moving into hands-on implementation. His security experience includes IoT and SCADA security, operational technology security, critical-infrastructure red teaming, and using the MITRE framework to map attacks. Marco also builds backend features involving databases and service integrations, evaluates the fit of alternative solutions, and has contributed to both greenfield builds and the scaling or refactoring of existing systems. On collaborative teams of five to six people, Marco values diverse backgrounds and shared decision-making. He uses AI-enabled development tools, including agentic workflows, Cloud Code, and Cursor, to accelerate coding in unfamiliar areas while making pragmatic delivery decisions that prioritize consistency and shipping over incomplete features. ## Highlights - Completed a summer internship focused on feature development and operational technology security research. - Worked with Air Force clients on critical-infrastructure security projects. - Applied red-team thinking to critical infrastructure through work in operational technology security, IoT and SCADA security, and pentesting. - Used the MITRE framework to map attacks in security work. - Built a full-stack food-waste solution. - Moved from research and architecture work to hands-on coding in unfamiliar technical domains. - Handled research-intensive projects and made design decisions in unfamiliar technical areas. - Built backend features involving databases and service integrations and evaluated the fit of alternative solutions. - Contributed to both greenfield projects and the scaling and refactoring of existing systems. - Used agentic workflows, Cloud Code, and Cursor to speed coding in unfamiliar domains. - Worked on teams of five to six people and supported collaborative decision-making across diverse backgrounds and experiences. - Made pragmatic delivery tradeoffs under pressure by prioritizing consistency and shipping over incomplete features. ## FAQ ### What does Marco do?
