ABOUT
subject profile
Ref. A01
I work at the intersection of systems programming, real-time data, and applied machine learning.
My day-to-day: Rust cybersecurity infrastructure that processes threats as they happen. I care about latency, correctness, and building systems operators can trust at 3 AM.
Graduated from RPI with degrees in CS and IT/Web Science. Shipping production since 2021.
