Hello, welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I am a security researcher broadly interested in reverse engineering and program analysis. specializing in ARM platforms. Simultaneously, I am a PhD candidate in Information Security at the CDT in Cyber Security at Royal Holloway, University of London, where I research new ways to harden legacy software with modern mitigations.

Outside of this, I enjoy making noises on the guitar, and subservience to my feline overlords.
