I am a Security Engineering Manager at Meta (fka Facebook). I support a distributed team of highly skilled engineers who work on systems and infrastructure that provide a range of capabilities for security investigations. I joined the company in 2014 as a Threat Research Scientist and worked on providing a better understanding of the threat ecosystem targeting the Facebook Family of Apps.
As of the 2023 Fall semester, I am also an Adjunct Instructor in the Information Networking Institute (INI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) .
In August 2014 I received a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy ( EPP ) from CMU. I worked on empirical measurements and economic modeling of online crime, towards understanding and structuring effective countermeasures. The title of my PhD thesis is Structuring Disincentives for Online Criminals . In this effort I was fortunate to be advised by Nicolas Christin and funded by CyLab .
