๐ Master's student in Computer Science at NC State University
๐ Focused on Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Secure Software Engineering
I design and analyze systems with security and privacy at the core, spanning Android app privacy analysis, secure backend development, and AI-assisted security tools.
- Web application Security
- Privacy Analysis and Data Protection
- Secure Software Design and Threat Modeling
- Android Security and Static Analysis
- Software Engineering for Security-Critical Systems
Static taint analysis of real-world Android applications to uncover privacy risks
- Identified 79 source-to-sink data leakage paths
- Analyzed inter-component communication, permissions, and lifecycle callbacks
- Detected unauthorized location tracking and device fingerprinting
A system that transforms meeting conversations into a persistent, queryable knowledge graph, enabling stakeholders to understand decisions, dependencies, and evolving requirements across the SDLC.
- Transcribes meeting audio and extracts key concepts, decisions, and relationships into a Neo4j property graph
- Provides stakeholder-specific views (engineering, product, security) through tailored graph queries
- Supports saving sessions and comparing graphs across meetings to track how discussions, priorities, and decisions evolve over time
- Enables high-level understanding as well as deep dives through multiple graph-based perspectives
AI-driven phishing simulation built for a controlled cybersecurity challenge
- Designed realistic phishing campaigns using AI
- Monitored user interaction and campaign effectiveness
- Secured 2nd place in a cybersecurity & AI-based hackathon
Full-stack platform to streamline citizenโgovernment issue reporting
- React frontend with Node.js / Express backend
- Authentication, routing, and MongoDB persistence
- Understanding how modern applications unintentionally expose sensitive user data
- Learning about systems that make security and privacy failures easier to detect and reason about
- Applying AI in security analysis
