As a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Florida, I teach courses in cost and managerial accounting, and data analytics (SAS, Python), while conducting research in accounting and auditing. Alongside my academic role, I serve as the CFO of Tera Insights LLC, where I am proud to be part of the team behind tiCrypt.tiCrypt by Tera Insights is a secure software solution that enables the storage, sharing, and processing of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with robust end-to-end encryption and FIPS-compliant cryptographic methods.
