About

I work on security engineering at Anthropic. Previously, I led security engineering at Lightspark and managed supply chain security at Snap. Before that, I was on the Chrome Security team at Google.

I hold a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, where I worked with Dawn Song on web application security. My research focused on making the web safer through better security policies and analysis tools. You can find our group's work at WebBlaze.

I earned my B.S. and M.S. from Brown University, and spent time at Sun Microsystems and Microsoft Research along the way. I live and work in Los Angeles, CA.

Outside Work

Most of my time outside work is spent with my three kids and wonderful wife. I run to decompress, and I ski, snowboard, and surf whenever possible (bless SoCal weather and geography). I still rock climb occasionally, though not as much as I'd like, and I am a nearly life long tap dancer.

My main entertainment is reading and a bit of video gaming.

As an historical drop, you can view a retrospective on my wedding.
