I’m a Mathematics and Computer Science student at the University of Georgia interested in applied cryptography, cybersecurity, privacy-preserving systems, and mathematically grounded computing.
My work sits at the intersection of theory and implementation. I’m especially interested in building schemes that are rigorous in theory, practical in deployment, and efficient in security-sensitive settings.
- Applied cryptography
- Homomorphic encryption
- Privacy-preserving machine learning
- Post-quantum cryptography
- Algorithms and mathematical modeling
- Security research and challenge design
- Research engineering at the intersection of math, systems, and computation
I’m currently focused on furthering my work in cryptography and privacy-preserving computation, especially questions around the practical viability of secure computation under constraints like runtime, scalability, and real-world deployment.
Alongside that, I’m continuing to build across research engineering, software development, databases, and technical writing.
