Curriculum vitæ
I am a PhD student at the University of Utah, researching compiler verification with John Regehr. My current work involves extending Alive2, a translation validator for LLVM, to verify more complex programs.
I contribute to open source projects, including the Rust standard library, jq and jqjq, and Git.
I also enjoy researching software history, particularly of early UNIX and regular expression engines.
