About
I'm a computer scientist finishing my Master's in Computer Science at Iowa State University, researching compilers, distributed computing, cryptography, and cloud architecture. My work sits at the intersection of high-performance systems and security — I care about software that's both fast and hard to break.
Outside of research, I work across DevOps, cloud security and architecture, build systems, and HPC infrastructure end to end — from the compiler that turns your code into instructions, to the cluster that runs it, to the network that has to be trusted to do so safely.
When I'm not at a terminal, I'm usually climbing or flying.

Expected 2027
Research focus: compilers, distributed computing, cryptography, and cloud architecture.
focus areas
- HPC Systems — Cluster architecture, scheduling, performance tuning, and distributed computing at scale.
- Compilers — Toolchains, build systems, and the translation layer between source code and hardware.
- Cryptography & Auth — Applied cryptography, authentication systems, and the primitives that secure them.
- Cloud Infrastructure & Security — Cloud architecture, DevOps, and security posture from the network layer up.
