PhD Student @ USI
I am part of the SWSYTEMS lab at USI supervised by Prof. Patrick Eugster. I am broadly interested in distributed systems, security, programming languages and their interaction. I like to ski, hike, swim, cook, do yoga etc.
Hi, my name is
About Me
I am a PhD student advised by Prof. Patrick Eugster at the SWSYTEMS lab in Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI). My research focuses on easing the process of building secure distributed applications for those not acquainted with cryptography and trusted computing.

Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop
Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), AWS Nitro, AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)
Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Azure
Docker, QEMU
Jekyll, Hugo
Some technologies I have worked with include:

Experience
I worked as a software engineer and developed products at the intersection of cybersecurity and program analysis which detected exploits at real-time on embedded-resource constrained systems and IoT devices.
- Lead developer for SensorTracer — a low footprint novel source code instrumentation tool based on Ball-Larus path profiling built for a wide range of systems.
- Lead developer for SensorDoctor — a diagnostic tool to replay exploits.
- Designed tests and successfully tested over comprehensive code structures across linux-based application utilities such as wget, vim, sed, flex, grep, gzip, bash, etc.
I worked as a research intern in the area of software engineering and computer vision.
- Developed a new semi-automatic algorithm for 3-D reconstruction of femoral head from CT scans of the pelvic region.
- Reduced reconstruction time of femoral head by over 50%.
- Achieved an outstanding accuracy of 93% compared to manual reconstruction of femoral head.
Instructed Foundations of Computer Science (CS 182) to a class of 50 students in summer 2016.
Responsibilities included
- curating course content and delivering lectures.
- desinging and grading quizzes, assignments and examinations.
