Using a bunch of computers to understand Internet censorship data
by revealing topics in millions of URLs that generalized classifiers would miss
Writing about things like hacking the Dutch Government for a t-shirt, data privacy,
interpreting news/social media,
and the responsibility we have when releasing tech
Making a series of puzzles themed around historical Quacks to teach players to recognize info manipulation tactics
As you can probably guess from my projects, I care a lot about how technology impacts people!
Over the past few years I've completed 5 internships across small startups and large organizations. I started out focused on highly technical security roles, and more recently I've worked to apply the same mindset more broadly towards societal problems. I believe people are tired of having their trust abused at every level of interaction with technology— and that this mistrust has spilled over into everyday human interactions, fueling division. A lot of my work is done with the goal of finding ways to revitalize trust in mind, but a lot of it is also just for fun.
I'm currently studying Systems Design Engineering at uWaterloo.
