Founder & CEO, Incalmo

About Me

I am the founder of Incalmo, an autonomous cybersecurity company. We recently closed a pre-seed round. More information about Incalmo coming soon.

I am a graduating PhD candidate advised by Lujo Bauer and Vyas Sekar, developing systems to enable fully autonomous network attackers and defenders.

If you are interested in applying my research at scale for network attack and defense, evaluating or training foundation models, or exploring investment opportunities, please contact me at the email below.

Before my PhD, I co-founded ZeroWheel and was the CTO for 5 years.
