I am a software engineer working in applied cryptography and reliable data systems. I spent three years as a PhD researcher, exploring private computation, secure system design, and consensus protocols, before transitioning full-time into engineering roles focused on cryptographic infrastructure and end-to-end encryption.

Happy to connect with other engineers, researchers, or folks working at the intersection of privacy and systems.

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.
