About

I currently work as a software engineer at Semgrep, where I am having lots of fun fleshing out our security tool and sitting on beanbags in the office. In my time outside of work, I try to work on software and electronics projects that excite me. I like to run, bike, and walk around the Bay Area and San Francisco. My girlfriend and I have a fun habit of going on backpacking trips from our doorstep in Palo Alto, which is always a blast.

While I work professionally on software, I love hardware too and especially where the two meet. In May 2023, I finished my M.Eng. in electrical engineering and computer science with the PDOS group at MIT CSAIL. My thesis explored using WebAssembly as a privilege separation mechanism in embedded systems and applied this to implement a safer WebAuthn security key on an STM32 microcontroller. I had the honor of being the TA for the second iteration of 6.1600, a new undergrad security class, and was one of several TAs for 6.5660, the graduate systems security class.

I earned my S.B. from MIT in 2022 with a degree in electrical engineering and computer science and a minor in urban studies and planning. During undergrad internsips, I built a locomotive monitoring platform at Keolis Commuter Services (trains!), a firmware integration test framework at Apple, and got my first taste of r2c (now Semgrep).
