## II. **From the Inside Out: My Uncommon Journey Through Cybersecurity, Affective Computing, and Narcissistic Pattern Detection**
I didnt take a straight path to the edge of forensic truth.
I began with an associate's degree in Computer Science Technology — building machines, writing low-level code, understanding how systems break. That foundation led to a Bachelor's in Computer Science, where I became known less for grades and more for ideas. I wasnt just solving problems — I was designing frameworks to understand the problem itself.
By the time I earned my Masters in Information Security, I had already worked in high-level systems roles for telecom giants and government entities. I understood infrastructure, digital forensics, and ethical risk from the inside. But something was missing.
So I went deeper.
I entered a PhD fellowship in Emotion AI — a niche field at the crossroads of affective computing, psychology, and machine learning. There, I didnt just study algorithms. I trained them to feel. I trained myself to listen for the micro-patterns in deception — the unspoken frequencies in language that betray intention, manipulation, or trauma.
That research birthed *Witness Fracture* — a forensic linguistic framework for exposing narcissistic abuse in high-conflict divorce — and *The Recursive Claim* — a new model for detecting deception in insurance fraud using recursive coherence.
These arent just papers. They are proof-of-work. Each emerged from a long arc of study, failure, field testing, and recursion. I didnt just study the tools. I lived them. I forged them in high-stakes arenas where clarity isnt optional — its survival.
> This is what I bring to the field: not just insight, but *insight applied*.
