About

I'm a senior at Del Norte High School in San Diego. I joined a student cybersecurity club in 7th grade, and these days I run it: CyberAegis trains 100+ middle and high school students across three schools, and I build the practice environments and attack them live while students defend. Our teams have won CyberPatriot nationals three times while I've competed.

Most of my research is about what happens when we trust automated systems with security decisions: an LLM deciding whether a drone should fly, a model checking whether a message from another car is forged, and AI coding agents adding sign-in to real apps (myVibeAuthBenchwork at Boston University, which is going to IEEE ACSAC 2026 as a poster). Right now I'm at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, building agents that help researchers use the supercomputer.

I also teach a lot. That includes cyber safety for elementary schoolers and seniors, math tutoring, debate coaching, and grant writing for an AI-safety project track I co-founded in my school's CS program.
