Mahmoud ("Michael") Al Kurdi

• Built and documented a framework for configuring, evaluating, and benchmarking AI coding agents across real engineering workflows, including adapters for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and generic agent workspaces.
• Organized the project around reproducible proof: adapter round-trip tests, package install smoke tests, readiness runbooks, and a local visual demo.

• Designed and evaluated a defensive cybersecurity benchmark focused on MITRE ATT&CK mapping discipline, prompt-injection resistance, evidence citation, uncertainty handling, detection ideas, remediation guidance, and analyst follow-up questions.
• Compared seven agent artifacts with rubric-based scoring and preserved reproducibility through scripts, scorecards, raw outputs, logs, branch inventory, acceptance tests, and a final report.

• Built a dashboard-style vulnerability workflow with CRUD, KPI cards, search, filtering, severity states, and operational status views aligned to analyst workflows.

• Built SOC-style detection work for authentication and network anomaly triage using readable rule-based and statistical output.

• Worked in federally regulated aviation operations with security clearance and CBP badge endorsement, supporting international flight operations under FAA, OSHA, IATA, and CBP requirements.
• Completed recurrent incident-response and safety/security training in a high-accountability environment where documentation accuracy, identity validation, access control, and procedural discipline mattered.
• Coordinated with management and operations teams during time-sensitive incidents, inspections, and compliance-driven workflows.
