eecs student focusing on distributed systems & security at uc berkeley

open source work

  • btc-warp: infrastructure and zk-SNARKs for zero-shot node syncing in chained distributed systems
  • turbulence: deterministic distributed system testing by injecting network and storage hardships and fuzz testing, extending turmoil
  • narwhal-fino: implementing the fino consensus protocol on top of the narwhal mempool
  • galen: using variational autoencoders for anomaly-detection in medical images
  • aros: an iOS sdk to prove images were captured on real devices using SOTA cryptography (secure enclaves, zk-SNARKs) @ treehacks 2024. read more here
  • lazyfs-rs: reimplementing lazyfs in rust using std synchronization primitives and FUSE (wip)
  • traverse: static analysis and automated security reports for the ethereum virtual machine
  • weld: high-throughput, customizable evm testnets for prototyping using anvil
  • improved price oracles: harden price manipulation on uniswap v3 TWAP & reduce gas costs for euler finance's TWMP
  • self-decongesting cars: exploring self-coordinating agents to decongest traffic via reinforcement learning
