I'm an MMath student at the University of Waterloo and a researcher in the CrySP Lab, advised by Dr. Urs Hengartner. I work on behavioural biometrics and secure authentication systems at the intersection of security, machine learning, and human behavior — building robust, privacy-aware systems and exploring how behavioral signals can be used for security while staying resilient to adversarial attacks and misuse.

I completed my BSc in Computer Science Co-op (Honours) at Toronto Metropolitan University (2020–2025). My experience includes Cyber Security Analyst roles in Global IT Risk and Cryptography & Certificate Services.
