# About Me
|
|
|
|
Hi there! I'm a first-year master's student at the University of Minnesota. I
|
|
also currently work as a Software Developer at [AWS] (previously at [SIFT]).
|
|
My computing-related interests lie in programming language design and formal
|
|
verification, systems security, cryptography, and distributed
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Research
|
|
|
|
Currently, I'm learning about [cubical type theory][cubical]. I'll probably
|
|
write some blog posts as I learn more. My advisor is [Favonia].
|
|
|
|
### University Involvement
|
|
|
|
- **[GopherHack]**. I'm an officer at the GopherHack organization, hoping to
|
|
grow a CTF community at the University.
|
|
- **[PL Seminar]**. A group focused on reading and discussing
|
|
programming-language-related papers
|
|
|
|
Previously, I was also involved with:
|
|
|
|
- **[ACM]**. I was webmaster and wrote the current website, as well as helping
|
|
out with other events such as CTF.
|
|
- **[SASE]**. I was webmaster and was involved in organizing student group
|
|
events as well.
|
|
|
|
### Open-source Projects
|
|
|
|
Some of the projects I've been working on in my free time include:
|
|
|
|
- **[Wisesplit]**. A tool for easily splitting the bill with friends.
|
|
- **[Garbage]**. A CLI interface to the trash can API.
|
|
- **[Leanshot]**. A Linux screen capture tool.
|
|
|
|
More can be found on [this page][12] or my public [Gitea][2].
|
|
|
|
I've also started making an increased effort at using and supporting [FOSS],
|
|
and other software that're not predatory towards users. As a part of this
|
|
effort, I'm also self-hosting and rewriting some of the services and software
|
|
that I use regularly. Find out what I'm using [here][9].
|
|
|
|
### Hobbies
|
|
|
|
I'm also an avid rhythm game player and beatmap creator, mostly involved with
|
|
the free-to-play game [osu!]. Check out some of my beatmaps on my osu!
|
|
[userpage].
|
|
|
|
I also enjoy playing badminton 🏸 at the rec.
