Hi, I'm Trevor!

530lbs

I enjoy breaking things (legally of course!). That's why I am doing a PhD in privacy and security at Carnegie Mellon University's ECE department. I'm already four (4) years in somehow. Here are my advisors:

Broadly, I'm interested in guaranteed privacy, algorithms, and cryptography, but I really like theoretical math too.


Feel free to cold email me at [first letter][last name]+hi@[university’s domain], the +hi tag at the end makes sure it won't get filtered and I'll see it :). I usually respond to emails in a day or so during working days.

Personal Projects

Keyboard
I've loved mechanical keyboards for a long time, I've decided to build my own finally. Once the plans are finished I'll open source it here!
Ideas
Here’s a list of free ideas that I’ve had. Feel free to use them.

Hobbies

Plants
I'm particularly fond of my rubber tree Jimbo

Backpacking

Weight Lifting
My SymmetricStrength profile.
Board Games
I'm interested in game design and how mechanics mesh with one another. I think emergent patterns from simple rules are extremely interesting - I particularly like the mechanics of Magic: The Gathering due to its flexibility, and social deduction games like Avalon for their depth of play. (If you think Avalon is a party game, you are mistaken)
