With roots in large-scale networking, cybersecurity, and information operations, I explore the grey areas between disciplines. My work bridges the gaps between research, technical innovation and real-world impact. I'm lucky to have collaborations with a variety of interesting people and projects.
I have extensive experience in cryptocurrency security, analytics and regulation, including work at two successful startups. I co-founded the non-profit DART Collective and served on the Board of the DEFCON AI Village.
I'm a former AAAS Public Engagement Fellow and Cyber Policy Initiative Fellow at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy, where I created and taught a graduate class in "AI and Public Policy".
Prior to joining UIUC, I was an NSF Program Officer, ran global infrastructure teams in industry and academia, and served as a Marine Corps officer.
