Building secure, efficient systems at the intersection of theory and practice

About Me

I'm a Mathematics and Computer Science student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a passion for systems programming, security, and algorithmic problem-solving. Currently maintaining a 3.98 GPA while exploring the fascinating intersection of mathematical theory and practical software engineering.

As a Software Engineering Intern at Everfox, I've developed expertise in Linux systems, security hardening, and infrastructure tooling. I built a stateless RPM overlay package manager that reduced developer package refresh times by over 95%, analyzed FIPS-compliant web servers for secure deployments, and created advanced USB security auditing tools for RHEL-based systems.

Beyond internships, I lead technical projects like building control systems for a 6-axis robotic arm, implementing distributed algorithms like PageRank, and creating full-stack web applications. I'm driven by challenging problems that require both mathematical rigor and engineering pragmatism.
