About
I started as an Electronics & Telecommunication engineer — soldering boards, writing firmware, and making sensors and motors agree with each other. The deeper I went, the more I realized the hardest, most important problems weren't in any single layer. They lived in the seams: between a protocol and its implementation, between a model and the system it controls, between what a device can do and what it should be trusted to do.
That pulled me toward security. Today, as an MSISPM student at Carnegie Mellon's Heinz College, I work across applied and embedded security, post-quantum cryptography, and AI security — with one foot still firmly in building real systems: robots, drones, digital twins, and the infrastructure around them.
I also build organizations. I founded the thinkMINNT Foundation and have led national-scale technical initiatives. I care about work that is rigorous enough to publish and concrete enough to ship.
