Also known as "Kinn"

Security Researcher and Software Engineer

B.A. Analytics, UC Berkeley

Bio

I'm a cybersecurity researcher, engineer, and consultant working for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. I have published work in the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity's white papers, Securing Mutual Aid: Cybersecurity Practices and Design Principles for Financial Technology, worked on projects such as the Open Computing Facility's Labmap2, and created BERKE1337's 1337NET Lab Network for practical cybersecurity exercises.

I have a strong interest in the intersection between cybersecurity and infrastructure and believe that good cybersecurity is one that doesn't get in the way and gets the job done. I believe that future-proofing systems from threats that haven't attacked yet is the most surefire way to remain secure for the longest period of time.

My skills include Linux and Windows systems administration, software engineering in languages such as Rust and Nix, and networking using open source software.
