CS @ UT Austin | security, systems, AI/ML
Hi! I'm Noah, a freshman at UT Austin studying Computer Science with a minor in Core Texts and Ideas. I write a lot of code and a lot of words about how technology works and how to use it to help people.
Right now I'm training as a SOC analyst at UT's Information Security Office, working on hardware and security research, building embedded systems with an AI & robotics team, and software engineering at LHD.
I love philosophy, discussion, and teaching, especially when it lines up with the technical topics I nerd out about. I'm working on a few papers, technical writeups, and essays about the projects I'm building that you should check out!
Long term, I'd love to contribute to the next layer of defense as we build new computer systems and AI infrastructure. I also really want to become a teaching assistant and start making educational content online, but I have to learn before I can teach, and that's what the next few years are for.
When I'm not at my desk, I play intramural soccer and solve Rubik's cubes. (just started averaging sub-20 seconds on 3x3!)
That's it for now — thanks for checking out my website :)
peace,
noah

Lucky App
What are the chances? With this application, flip a coin, roll some dice, or access the weather via an API. This application was my first experience using Android Studio, Java, and XML to design and create an Android application.
Dino App
Prehistoric information, modern interface. This was my first experiment with Swift and iOS application development. With help from tutorial by Sean Allen, I set up Xcode and built the framework of my application. After that, I added a prehistoric twist and some relevant dino info.
