Research involves the investigation of the security and privacy practices of individuals working in high-risk environments.

Lausanne, Vaud, Ch

• Investigated the problem of finding adversarial examples for machine-learning algorithms in the discrete domain.• This research provides formal guarantees on the robustness of the classifiers in security-critical applications, such as malware, spam or fraud detection.

Irvine, California, Us

• Researched whether projected displays are subject to privacy leakage, specifically, whether keystroke dynamics inferred from a display during a presentation could facilitate an attack on masked text entered by the presenter• Developed several Artificial Neural Networks using TensorFlow library to map keypress timing information to typed characters and designed a technique to reduce the search space of a brute force attack on the target password

Edinburgh, Gb

• Worked on creating and distributing unique content for premium members of the society, with the aim of increasing value of society membership • Responsibilities also included performing administrative functions and acting as a personal assistant to the President of the society

Edinburgh, Edinburgh , Gb

• Responsibilities included using in-house Node.js applications to scrape external data and update the database with up-to-date product information which is ultimately presented to the end user.• Summer project involved developing a Python backend for a machine learning tool to automate and ease data acquisition from new websites.• Provided guidance and support to other interns who joined the company at a later stage.

Tallinn, Ee

• Wrote an API library and developed a command-line tool for parsing, interpreting and verifying digital signatures provided by Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI). • Project implemented fully in Haskell, which provided an alternative, more formal programming model that is used by Guardtime as a mean for cross-validation.• Was given a great degree of freedom in my work, and had to carefully plan time and resources in order to get the project done on time.

Tallinn, Ee

• Designed and developed an administrative interface for user management and statistics display using Node.js and its frameworks (Express.js & Backbone.js).• The interface is currently used by Lingvist customer support to manage user data.• Gained insight into all aspects of an application development life cycle, including requirements analysis (discussions with CTO and product manager), design, implementation and testing.
