Career

Currently (since August 2022) working as a Security Software Engineer at Microsoft as part of MORSE. When I was in undergrad I completed internships at a variety of companies focusing on cybersecurity, specifically vulnerability research. I have worked at a government lab, small contractors, a medium sized private company, and a West Coast tech giant, leading to a well rounded skillset.

For more details see my resume.
