I build things. I like to be challenged. I go after hard software systems problems. I find peace in academic writing. I strive to be a successful entrepreneur. Ask me about my side projects and hacks.
I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) under the mentorship of Konstantin Beznosov and Matei Ripeanu . My thesis presented one of the first security analyses of malicious socialbots on the web.
I'm interested in the security and privacy of social and information networks, with an emphasis on problems that broadly impact the way people use technology and the Internet.
