I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from NYU and was a member of the Offensive Security, Incident Response, and Internet Security (OSIRIS) Lab, a student-run cybersecurity research lab. I also earned a B.A. in Physics from Columbia University, honing my analytical and problem-solving skills.
In addition to my professional work, I share tutorials and cybersecurity content on my YouTube channel, @exitvillain, where I cover topics like reverse engineering and web application security.
