Under Northeastern University, I worked on an internship researching the exploitation of critical infrastructure. To explain it, machines that have complex systems, may have unintended harmful behavior emerge naturally from it’s own design. Our research revolved around how these machines could then possibly be be exploited for further use.
Leadership
This experience taught me not only areas of programming that I was not aware of but also the leadership that was needed to guide an entire team, helping myself and peers overcome obstacles like self doubt. This experience was a peek into what was needed in more leadership roles.
Collaboration
I worked on various projects with my team, putting together programs in Modbus systems, whilst sending the ball back and forth from each other on ideas. We’ve put together multiple presentations, and are in progress of writing a research paper for Summer 2026
Work Experience
I also have experience working as an Systems Administrator, managing users in Azure and Active Directory, and overseeing security measures and practices for multiple departments. These opportunities allowed me to work on my management skills, being able to communicate to multiple users and departments and being able to relate to them on topics outside of the technical field.
