About Me
Welcome! I live in Sunnyvale, CA and work as a fullstack software engineer at OpsRamp. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Computer Science degree in December 2018 (in 2.5 years).
Previously I worked as an incident response consultant at Mandiant, and interned on Yelp’s Application Security team.
