Cybersecurity researcher · DFIR & malware analysis
I’m a computer engineering student and cybersecurity researcher working across DFIR, hardware/software security, IoT/OT security, and applied cryptography. I like building tools that make complex security problems easier to analyze.
I’ve worked as a research assistant at Purdue University, with the rest of my experience coming from security research and years spent in the CTF and security community.
I play CTFs with 0xL4ugh, and I write challenges as well as solve them, mostly DFIR and reverse engineering for 0xL4ugh and CyberTalents. I’m also Head of DFIR and SOC at CATReloaded, Mansoura University.
