Senior at Phillips Academy Andover. Summer 2026 intern @ RTX BBN. Interested in ML, linguistics, physics, and always more.
Tracking how internal representations in Qwen-2.5-1.5B shift across fine-tuning checkpoints using sparse autoencoders, to understand when and how misalignment emerges mechanistically. [repo]
Completed an intensive embedded systems security program at MIT focused on low-level system architecture and hardware-level cryptographic implementation. Built a secure bootloader for an ARM microcontroller using encryption to verify and protect the boot process.
In the program's culminating Capture the Flag competition, placed 1st out of 7 teams by exploiting an AES-GCM nonce reuse vulnerability to break otherwise authenticated encryption.
