Hey! I'm Kelly - 4th year CS student at UBC , interested in security engineering, software/product, and
vulnerability research.
I'm an incoming Security Engineer Intern at 1Password
, currently researching defenses for OT cybersecurity network DoS
attacks under Professor Aastha Mehta, broadly part of the Systopia Lab .
Previously interned at Aquatic Informatics and AlgaeCal for software, building components and doing E2E testing. Also forayed
into business as an IT Enterprise Architecture intern at BC Hydro , doing OT/IT cybersecurity market research, VR and robotics.
I play in CTFs with Maple Bacon , specifically reverse engineering and forensics, but also
learning binary exploitation (pwn). My writeups and general tech
thoughts are here ,
and the calendar below functions as a CTF "habit tracker", if
you will.
