ABOUT ME
I am a currently a computer science PhD student at the University of Florida specializing in Cyber Security. Most of my work focuses on speech privacy and processing. Specifically, I work closely with audio deepfakes, mainly in the detection space, but dabbling in generation. This area is extremely fascinating, face paced, and cutting edge.
I have been fascinated with everything computing since I got my first computer when I was in 5th grade, playing Oregon Trail. Since then my love for all things computing has grown and has taken over my day to day life. I spend my days working as a student researcher, or filling my free time with research projects based around computing, working on my car, playing video games, and enjoying some casual disc golf.

HOBBIES/INTERESTS
Computer and application programming
I enjoy all facets of programming and designing systems from large scale down to embedded systems.
Space related research and learning
My life has, ever since I can remember, revolved around learning everything I can about our Universe. If I can apply my computing skill set to learning about our Universe, I could think of nothing better.
Car modification
I've grown up around cars, I enjoy cars that are fast, look good and are personalized. My free time that is not spend playing around with computers or video games is spent driving and modifying my 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Disc golf
This is my happy place. There's few things better than the peacefulness of a secluded disc golf course. Of course that feeling is quickly diminished by hitting the first available tree on every tee-shot.
The Greatest Accomplishment
The greatest accomplishment that I can think of has to be something that benefits mankind as a whole. I want to one day help design/implement a piece of the collective puzzle that transforms mankind into an interplanetary species. I believe that this is something that will happen in my lifetime and I want to be on the forefront of this exploration. We will become cosmic pioneers.
