I am a Research Associate at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization. I spend most of my time working on the Open Quantum Safe project.

I completed a Master of Mathematics (MMath) in 2023 and a Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) in 2022, both at Waterloo. My Master's focus was in cryptography, and my supervisor was Douglas Stebila. My undergrad majors were Pure Mathematics and Computer Science, jointly.

In 2019, I conducted research in differential algebra under the supervision of Professor Rahim Moosa, supported by an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award. In 2020 and 2021, I worked at 1Password and Crypto4A Technologies in software development and security engineering roles.
