04 / A little about me
I build secure tools
for real people.
I’m an EECS student interested in the overlap of software engineering and cybersecurity. I like work that is technically rigorous, useful in practice, and easy for people to trust.
Across engineering, consulting, and teaching, I’m learning how to make complex systems clearer, safer, and more approachable.
Let’s work together
Have a thoughtful project
in the works?
I’m always glad to meet good people doing meaningful work.
