Cybersecurity × AI · New York City
Where security engineering meets the customer.
I'm Kris Kolos, a cybersecurity-focused Computer Information Systems senior at Baruch College (CUNY) and a former NCAA Division I athlete. I take on ambiguous, unowned problems and drive them to done.
Open to Fall 2026 security internships
Selected work
I built an agentic SOC alert-triage copilot on the Anthropic API. More projects land here as I ship them.
View projects →About me
I started in biochemical engineering, then realized I wanted to build things, not sit in a lab. That took me to cybersecurity and software, where I get to pick up an ambiguous problem and push it all the way to something that works. Nine years of competitive water polo, including at the NCAA Division I level, taught me how to keep showing up to hard things.
I work best when I own a problem end to end and the stakes are real. On the business side, that meant running a partnership pipeline for a startup in Tel Aviv. On the technical side, it means building an agentic SOC alert-triage copilot on the Anthropic API. I am looking for a Solutions or Product role at a growth-stage, AI-native security company where I can stay close to customer problems and turn them into software that ships.

Build log
-
Finished the SOC alert-triage copilot and deployed this portfolio. Made the copilot repo public, embedded a live replay of its recorded investigations on the projects page, and put the whole site live on Vercel.
-
Grew the SOC alert-triage copilot from single-alert to full-queue mode: it now triages a whole batch of alerts in one run, each with its own evidence trail and verdict. Built a browser dashboard that replays the queue as a live "shift report," with an economics view and sorting, plus a cost analysis (about 4 cents per alert) and a written failure review of a case it first got wrong, then fixed.
-
Built v1 of my SOC alert-triage copilot: a Node.js CLI on the Anthropic API that runs an agentic loop with five investigation tools and triages synthetic SIEM alerts to a structured verdict. It becomes the featured project here once it ships.
-
Built and shipped v1 of this site with Claude Code. Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, no framework. Custom monogram, warm cream and navy design system, terminal-style demo panel. Next: a hands-on security project for the featured slot.
