I am a privacy-oriented software engineer with a strong foundation in applied cryptography and reliable data systems. I spent three years as a PhD researcher, exploring privacy-preserving computation, zero-knowledge proof systems, and consensus protocols, before transitioning full-time into engineering roles focused on cryptographic infrastructure.
I’m now applying my cryptography and systems skills to modern data infrastructure problems with one focus: building secure-by-design systems. I’m fluent in Rust, C, Zig, TypeScript, and C#. I get nerd-sniped by the details of cryptographic primitives; past obsessions include zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, secure MPC, encrypted search, and private information retrieval.
💡 Always happy to connect with other engineers, researchers, or founders working at the intersection of privacy, performance, and systems innovation.

Outside of arguing with computers, I like to spend time visiting national parks. I love watching basketball and soccer, and playing pickleball and tennis. I enjoy reading sci-fi, fantasy, biographies, Mormon and CHamoru history, as well as the latest cryptography research papers.
I’m easily nerd-sniped and have an unhealthy addiction to finding answers to unimportant questions.
