Software/Network Engineer for the Action Institute through the Secure Computing Group (aka SecLab) at UCSB. Part-time lecturer at the Department of Computer Science at Westmont College and occasional contractor. Master of Science in Software Engineering from California State University, Fullerton.

While working at UCSB, I have had the chance to work on significant projects with remarkable individuals.

Projects

• Strategically migrate a data center while contributing to the ongoing research of Chris Kruegel, Giovanni Vigna and many others.
• Socio-physical modeling with Kelly Caylor at waves lab
• Consult on a variety of projects at ERI (such as implementing seismic algorithms in Python with Jamison Steidl for NEES or modeling waves in the open ocean with Tim DeVries and Leonel Romero).
• Manage (Maintain, modernize, and migrate) the campus enterprise resource planning tool during a major transition to a new financial backend.
• Build tooling to enable migration to a centralized campus identity system.
• Automate the migration of student email to the cloud
• Creating the new campus data center (building an emergency shutdown system based on environmental sensors)

I am passionate about learning and teaching. I have occasionally taught an upper-division course on Programming Languages.
