Hi, I'm Eddie, a computer science student at UC Irvine. I love all things coding, with a particular interest in security and AI.

I'm finishing a B.S. in computer science with a minor in mathematics at the University of California, Irvine, graduating in December 2026.

My main passions in computer science are security and AI. On the security side, I work on both offense and defense. I'm a CPTC Global Champion, having won the Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition's Global Finals with UCI's team. Before that, I competed on UCI's cyber defense team, where I was an alternate on our national champion team. I've pen-tested internal web apps for the university and often play CTFs.

As for AI, I've built an MCP server that connects LLMs to internal tools, orchestrated a multi-agent penetration testing pipeline with Claude Code for CPTC, and created a RAG assistant for Google Docs.
