Experience
Software Engineer — Arebus
Apr 2024 – Jul 2024 · Remote (Zug, Switzerland)I worked on an XCUITest end-to-end suite for a privacy-focused steganographic messaging app, covering around 90 tests across 6 flows. Along the way, I created actionable Jira tickets with repro steps, logs, and severity labels so developers could pick up issues quickly and we could ship with more confidence.
Computer Technician — SkyViewTek
Jun 2022 - Aug 2024 · Malvern, PA- I supported dozens of client organizations, handling everything from O365 and networking issues to imaging and desktop support, all while keeping up with SLAs.
- One of the bigger wins was standardizing our Windows imaging process such that drivers and AD joins were handled automatically, which cut provisioning time from about 100 minutes down to 30 per machine and pretty much eliminated manual rework.
- I also built an automation for our quarterly reviews that doubled how many client infrastructure and endpoint reviews we completed on time.
Selected projects
Responsible Vulnerability Disclosures
Identified and reported three critical security issues to software publishers, contributing fixes and mitigation strategies that:
- Prevented exposure of private information for ~3 million K-12 students and families.
- Patched a critical API vulnerability which could have leaked sensitive data.
- Notified organization of a business logic issue which could have led to financial loss.
Custom Discord Solutions
I've designed, developed, hosted, and maintained multiple bots for the Discord platform serving 100k+ members across many communities. I've created many essential features for server owners, before Discord themselves.
Byte Vault - DragonHacks @ Drexel University
Hardware device for encrypted credential storage/retrieval on RFID cards. Built with Arduino, C++, and 3D modeling/printing; delivered a functional prototype in 24 hours.
stogacs.club
My highschool computer science club's website.
- Built an automated attendance tracking system using Power Automate and district emails, with a points-based rewards program to boost engagement.
- Created a full-stack web application allowing members to securely sign in and manage or spend their points.
- Redesigned the landing page for our flagship hackathon and developed a high-converting sponsorship page that attracted several national and local businesses.
Leadership & Involvement

Hobbies & Interests
Photography
I enjoy capturing moments and exploring creative compositions through photography.
Hardware Hacking
I'm interested in hardware hacking, exploring the inner workings of electronic devices and finding innovative ways to modify, repair, or enhance their functionality. I also enjoy getting hardware to do things it wasn't originally designed to do.
