Developing competitive execution strategies and improving market connectivity for Delta One, Optiver's high-frequency trading team.
Augmented order management system and hardware execution component to enable tracking and canceling quotes on a new exchange.
Integrated third-party low-latency microwave service, enabling high-frequency energy futures trading across multiple exchanges.
Enhanced accuracy of the backtest by implementing exchange-specific matching algorithm details for new exchanges.

Integrated a web map written in Java with both commercial and custom in-house tile servers. Reduced customer configuration by 80% for existing tile servers and enabled access to thousands of open-source tile sets.
Added concurrency to a VS Code extension language server implemented in Rust.

Developed an autonomous agent using C#/.NET to simulate realistic user behavior. Used agent to evaluate accuracy of machine learning model for anomaly detection.
Designed and ran an attack-defense style capture-the-flag (CTF) competition using automated infrastructure tools to generate and manage vulnerable deployments.

Led intern development team improving Android penetration testing app from previous summer. Integrated new tools for network sniffing and exploitation. Developed version control system to track tool versions and reduce update bundle size.
Implemented a network traffic generator to provide a realistic baseline for machine learning anomaly detection.
Demonstrated proof-of-concept hardware and software proxies to intercept and monitor USB traffic.

Led intern development team to create an Android penetration testing app. Integrated tools for network scanning, packet capture, and data exfiltration. Added concurrency to support multithreaded processing on Android.
Designed an embedded security model using containerization to mitigate cyber threats to satellites, reducing successful penetration attempts by 95%.

Visual Studio Code extension to provide language support and visualization for systems engineering language OML.

Competitor for the Robocode programming game written in Java. Uses online machine learning methods to adapt to opponent's movement pattern. Ranked in the top 10% of competitors globally.

Android dice calculator for tabletop games implementing domain-specific language for dice formulas used by many game systems.

Competed in the 2021 College Fed Challenge.
Researched macroeconomic trends and conditions to formulate a monetary policy proposal presented to the Federal Reserve.
Won at-large division in first year of competition and placed in top six in national finals.

Organized and led competitive CTF (Capture the Flag) team of a dozen experienced students and over fifty beginners in collegiate competitions.
Taught workshops on cryptography, file analysis, reverse engineering, binary exploitation, and network scanning.
