About Me
I am a PhD graduate in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder, where I also earned my Master's degree. Prior to that, I received my Honors Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Arkansas. My interests focus on CPU microarchitecture, performance modeling, computer architecture security, and compilers. I have developed defenses against transient execution attacks (e.g., Spectre), extended Clang/LLVM with custom instructions and compiler passes, modeled secure branch and memory prediction mechanisms in gem5, and designed FPGA-based accelerators.

I am interested in roles related to CPU architecture, performance modeling, compiler hardware co-design, secure processor design, and systems research.
