About Me


Hi! My name is Alex McCarthy, and I am conducting research on behalf of CloudSecure. This blog documents my ongoing work in security automation, red teaming, and AI-driven vulnerability detection. Here you'll find technical write-ups, prototype designs, and reflections on building tools to help secure cloud environments and developer workflows.

I am a maths undergraduate at the University of Durham, being in my 3rd Year completing an integrated masters Mathematics degree. I am a huge fan of F1, Football (Up the Toffees!) and Padel.
