I am currently a Senior Privacy Engineer at the Wikimedia Foundation, where I work on large-scale implementations of differential privacy, high-level policy, and (sometimes) AI.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science, and have held technical internships at the New York Times, New Hampshire Democratic Party, and as a researcher at Brown University.
Relevant coursework includes: Computer Systems, Computer Systems Security, Cryptography, Theory of Computation, Distributed Computer Systems, Deep Learning, Algorithms for the People.
Here are my Github and Gitlab profiles. Any code that I still have access to can be made available on request.
