Build. Break. Be Curious.

I love understanding how systems work — and how they fail. I approach problems with curiosity, a touch of skepticism, and a drive to build things that last.

What I'm up to

• I'm about to graduate with a PhD in Computer Science with a focus on software and systems security from Oregon State University. I'm advised by and Dr. Rakesh Bobba and Dr. Yeongjin Jang.

• I’m exploring how to make security-by-design more accessible through my early-stage venture, unexploitable.xyz being incubated at the OSU Advantage Accelerator.

What I Do Well

• Building systems with a security-by-design mindset.
• Understanding large complex systems and — finding bugs in them.
• Static & dynamic program analysis, reverse engineering and vulnerability research.
• Explaining hard topics in ways that make them click.

Let's Connect

• Security researcher? Let's collaborate.
• Starting something and need help thinking through security? Let's chat.
• Prospective grad student? I'm happy to share what I've learned.
• Hiring a security researcher? You can find my resume here.

Outside of work

• I hack for fun and profit.
• I love making and eating good food.
• I enjoy running trails 🌲 to burn it off.
