With a background at the intersection of cryptography, quantum computing, and cybersecurity, I’ve spent the last decade working across startups, global consultancies, and nonprofit initiatives to make advanced technology more usable, secure, and impactful.
At Niobium Microsystems, I currently lead applications engineering for fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), designing OpenFHE-based use cases, delivering technical workshops, and collaborating with a leading cloud provider on privacy-preserving search. I also help shape strategy by facilitating cross-functional planning and building internal knowledge-sharing systems for FHE research and product alignment.
Previously, I worked as a quantum computing consultant at Protiviti and a data protection consultant at EY, helping financial institutions assess cryptographic risk and quantum readiness. My technical experience spans PQC algorithm evaluation, quantum machine learning, and attack simulation — including mask attacks on real-world hashing systems. At Allstate, I developed and implemented cryptographic solutions to enhance data security across the organization's platforms, including building secure encryption systems,anddeveloping and maintaining cryptographic standards for the organization.
As cofounder and former president of the global nonprofit CSNP, or CyberSecurity Non-Profit, I grew an international network for cybersecurity education and led programming that reached over 10,000 cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts. We have produced over 150 blog posts, hosted 90 webinars and 40 in-person events, and partnered with organizations like Girl Scouts and Girls Dream Code to bring accessible cybersecurity education to communities around the world.
