About Me
I'm currently a freshmen at Georgia Tech for Computer Science. I'm a passionate developer with an interest in designing efficient but trusted applications. I specialize in using modern security technologies like SOARs and SIEMs. My current goals are to learn more about reverse engineering through static and dynamic analysis tools.
Right now, I'm in GreyHat, GTXR, Competitive Programming @ GT, and Cubing @ GT. This semester, I'm looking forward to taking CS 2050 and CS 1332. Relevant coursework I've taken includes CS 1301, CS 1331, MATH 1554, and MATH 2551.
