INTRODUCTION
I’m Steven Marquez Jr., an AI and Cybersecurity Automation Researcher focused on understanding how technologies behave, where they break, and how to transform them into secure, resilient, and innovative solutions. My work blends offensive and defensive security expertise with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) insight, leveraging AI-driven automation to outpace evolving threats. With a foundation in network defense, application hardening, and offensive security, I push technologies to their limits by bridging the gap between research and real-world application through curiosity, technical rigor, and strategic foresight.
A track record of delivering impactful AI, cybersecurity, and automation projects that strengthen systems, streamline processes, and address complex security challenges. Skilled in collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders to design solutions that work in real-world environments.
