Hayden McKenzie publishes this as one of the aliases recovered from a DPRK IT worker cell's own files, on a per-alias record that gives its location as Torrance, California and the role it presents as Senior JavaScript Full Stack Engineer, and the contact details above. The record was not on the site when this one first read it on 22 September 2026 and appeared alongside the report The Women Behind North Korea's IT Worker Operations, published on 23 September, so that is the date cited. The name is the identity the operation presents, not the operator's; a real person whose name or details it may have been assembled from is not the worker.
