about

I'm a rising senior at Columbia studying CS and Math, with a Philosophy minor. I grew up in rural Wyoming. I care about security, systems, and doing work that matters. You can contact me on linkdin if you like.

professional

My ambitions: rent and grocieries would be nice. I want to do work thats important to people's wellbeing, even if they don't know it. This is what draws me to cybersecurity, especialy ICS/OT security for criitical infrastructure. I dream of going to grad school once I've gained industry experience and built up my research portfolio, I'd like to do a thesis driven masters at least and potentially a PhD if the masters goes well and I've got 5 years to kill.

one for the world

I've pledged to donate 1% of my income to effective charities through One for the World. If you haven't taken the pledge, click the link and look into what they're working on. A little can go a long way. I think a lot about how to do the most good with the time and resources I have, professionally and personally. I think the most valuable thing I can contribute is my career.

Effective altruism broadly: trying to do as much as you can with what little you have. Not any set ideology, moreso a way of approaching finite resources and an abundance of issues.

outside the terminal

Cooking (balancing ethical sourcing with tight budgets and flavor, Indian cuisine inspires many of my recipies here), kombucha brewing, lifting, yoga, videogames when there's time. I visit Wyoming in the summers to see my family and the mountians.
