Abstracts and Posters
I work at the Boston Children's Hospital as a developer for ChRIS. Our goal is to lower the technical barriers to the use of distributed computing in biomedical research.
Some things that I'm working on...
- Plugin development
- Network security
- Containerizing CIVET
- Cross-platform support (x86_64 and IBM Power9) for deployment on the Mass Open Cloud
Treetment is my current side-project. I hope for it to be a proof-of-concept of how simple algorithmic thinking can improve clinical practice.
Please reach out if you're interested in working with me on this!
Systems Biology
Spring 2020 "PEAK Base Camp" award recipient.
The aim of the Carrier Lab is to understand host-microbiome interactions at the mucosal surface and to engineer an in vitro model of the human gut. I help run bioinformatics pipelines on bacterial 16S sequences while also getting some bench experience.
Last fall, I gave a class about systems biology and microbiome research through Northeastern Splash.
Computer Science
Free software advocate, Linux enthusiast, script kiddie.
Cybersecurity
Hacking. I figure things out best by breaking them apart.
Protect.
Even before coming to Boston, I discovered an injection vulnerability on Northeastern's undergraduate admissions webpage. After demonstrating its exploitability, I worked together with Northeastern ITS to ensure we have reliable defenses against cyber attack.
Defend.
In fall 2019 I joined Generate as a build studio engineer, working for a student startup called Mount Locks.
Using cryptographic functions, I designed and implemented a custom protocol for token exchange over Bluetooth LE. The device authenticates communication without ever having to transmit the password.
After leaving Generate, I continued to work with Mount Locks as a consultant to advise the team on security and web architecture.
