About
I'm a graduate student in Computer Science at UMass Amherst, interested in projects that combine technical skills with social impact. I'm particularly passionate about security, applied AI, and developing technology to detect and prevent online abuse. I'm currently working on CaseLinker and researching online child exploitation, and I hope to continue building tools that help make the digital world safe for everyone.
Current Work
End Child Exploitation
A research site analyzing exploitation vectors, emerging technologies, and enforcement efforts to explore how technology can reduce harm and aid those protecting children.
Visit Research Site →CaseLinker
CaseLinker is a project designed to aggregate, structure, analyze, and visualize statistical and contextual information from cases involving crimes against children and child sexual exploitation & abuse (CSEA).
Affordances for Harm: How Offenders Misuse Platform Capabilities to Exploit Children, and Where to Intervene
A preprint presenting an affordance-based framework for Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC), grounded in 7,426 enforcement records from 56 sources and 61 task forces. Key contributions include:
- An operational affordance framework mapping platform capabilities to documented harm vectors across grooming, sextortion, CSAM production, and coordinated networks.
- A scalable open-source method (CaseLinker) for modeling sensitive case data using validated knowledge graphs built on Project VIC’s CAC Ontology and the CASE/UCO standard.
- Practical platform harm signatures and exploitation lifecycle visualizations grounded in 30 primary federal PACER records.
