Computer Engineering @ Tufts · Cybersecurity · Embedded Systems
I am a senior Computer Engineering student interested in web/API/low-level security and embedded systems. My personal projects tend to
focus in these areas, with some branching out into the hardware and web development domains.
I currently work as a cybersecurity intern at Schneider Electric, where I have been doing OT malware simulations & testing, vulnerability assessments on products,
and cybersecurity agentic AI development.

Reverse engineered a consumer fitness watch firmware and update mechanism, demonstrating unsigned firmware execution and performing firmware static analysis. Made write-up and tool to assist others with device modifications.
Finds the cheapest Dunkin near you by utilizing an undocumented Dunkin mobile app API that I found by intercepting/decrypting network traffic on a rooted Android emulator. Featured in The Boston Globe.
Wrote a custom UART interface with the Adafruit Basic Fingerprint Sensor to handle fingerprint enrollment and matching, creating a demo that opened a lockbox with matching fingerprints. Also wrote a JavaScript debugging script for Digilent WaveForms.
