I study international relations and security. My primary research agenda focuses on cyber cooperation, competition, and conflict between states, and I have published a peer-reviewed academic article on the subject. My secondary research area is international security more broadly, and I have co-authored a policy brief on this topic. I am also interested in regime dynamics, democratization, internal conflicts, and autocracy in Ibero-America. Before academia, I spent 16 years in tech, most recently as a senior software quality engineering manager. I also served for three years on active duty in the United States Army.
