Helping to grow and organize the cybersecurity community at UCLA.

Cybersecurity research for the national interest. More details to come soon

I have helped teach several computer science courses at UCLA including: CS 131: Programming Languages (Fall 2023) CS 33: Introduction to Computer Organization (Spring 2023, Spring 2024) CS 32: Introduction to Computer Science II (Winter 2023) My responsibilities have included teaching weekly discussion sections, holding office hours, building learning materials (worksheets, workshops, etc.) and working with the instructional team to improve the overall experience of the course.

As a Software Development Intern at Motorola Solutions, focusing on projects in the public safety sphere, I worked to rectify bugs and introduce novel features within our codebase. As a full-stack engineer, I worked on crafting migrations, implementing new components, and triaging bugs to enhance the overall user experience and functionality of the application.

Create CTF Challenges in a multitude of cybersecurity topics and teach workshops to the greater UCLA community.

Implemented self-healing and resiliency for first responder CAD systems through custom retry/timeout policies. Created and designed interactive Grafana dashboards to organize and improve observability of performance metrics. Wrote extensive design/research documentation on retry and circuit breaker policies in .NET and presented my findings directly to the development teams.
