👋 About Me

Security Engineer — Secure Design
Apple Inc. | Security Engineering & Architecture (SEAR)

I work on system-level security design, threat modeling, and architectural security reviews for complex software systems.

All repositories and code here are personal, academic, or predate my employment at Apple.
They are not affiliated with or representative of Apple or its products.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Texas Tech University, where my research focused on the intersection of security, performance, and scalability in modern systems.

Key areas:

  • Secure memory architectures: Capability-based global address spaces (xBGAS) on CHERI/ARM Morello.
  • GPU efficiency: DVFS-aware power and performance modeling across NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
  • System side channels: GPU-based covert and side-channel analysis in shared environments.
