Pseudo Resume

I don't like resumes. They're annoying and formal and don't have enough room for me to put all of the things and nuances that I think employers should know. So I wrote this document to hold all of the things I think should go onto my resume without the fuss of formatting and formal writing. There isn't a strict format, but I'll generally start with the more important stuff on top.

• I'm a Undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Political Science with certificates in Chinese and Transnational Asian Studies at University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire (UWEC)

• I'm in the UWEC honors college

• I'm specifically interested in cybersecurity threat intelligence, learning what you can about cyber threat actors. I'm interested in influence warfare and disinformation

• I have various certificates in cybersecurity and general IT, a comprehensive list here

• In April of 2024 I was hired to be a student system administrator of UWEC's High Performance Computing Center which means I'm part of the small team which manages our two supercomputing clusters (about 85 machines altogether). We present to/help/teach the few hundred students and faculty researchers which use the clusters, make sure all of the many moving parts of the clusters work, and generally ensure that everything is up to date, secure, and available for all. I'm also the "security person" so I'm generally in charge of most security-related stuff

• In Fall of 2025 I was accepted into a hackathon at MIT and won first place in a sponsor challenge. My team built a privacy-preserving, verifiable OAuth system built on EigenCloud. It leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to validate emails and other dynamic identity attributes, ensuring that anonymity could be preserved, even from the admins of the service https://github.com/ThisIsNotANamepng/diagonalize

• In Fall of 2024 I founded and became the president of the UWEC Model United Nations club

  • I planned the Model UN's trip to the ChoMUN conference and lead our competitive team, working in the on-the-fly secretariat's committee. We competed against over 1,000 delegates from across the country, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Purdue, Yale, Berkeley, and Georgetown

• In Fall of 2024 I founded and became the president of the cybersecurity club. I built numerous technical tools and a competitive cybersecurity team. I also teach the concept each week and lead hands on activities, program and work on a lot of projects, and generally being a driven person in creating an engaging, education, and accepting environment out of nothing. It should be noted that nothing that I teach or use in the club I learned in my normal CS program, I learned all of it on my own in my free time

  • In 2025 lead the cybersecurity club's team to Cyphercon, Wisconsin's largest security conference. In 2024 I went as a member of the team. In 2025 we competed against 71 teams, placed first, and won a lifetime ticket to all future conferences

    • At the 2024 conference I won the Hungry Hungry Hackers competition and won a VIP badge to the 2025 conference

• In the Winter of 2024 I became the president of UWEC's Student Association for Computing Machinery (our student ACM chapter). I organize our activities each week, and work to create opportunities for students in the department

• In Spring of 2025 I was voted in has UWEC's Student Senate's Information Technology Commission (ITC) which advises the senate on IT needs, annually approves the $1.2 million UWEC IT budget, and works to improve IT on campus based on student needs. I am a voting member of student senate. From Winter 2024 until I was voted in as director I was a member

• In the Spring of 2025 I started the process to create the Computer Science Student Advisory Group (CSSAG) which aims to work with the CS professors to address student concerns and create more opportunities for students to have themselves heard by the faculty. I am currently fighting red tape and a bureaucracy. Good thing I'm studying political science and know how to get into a political fight

• In October of 2024 I competed in an online LLMs security competition as part of the NIST Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI program. It was hosted by Humane Intelligence, which was supported by National Institute for Standards in Technology. They put out the call for people across the nation to break production LLMs submitted by model creators. Humane Intelligence covered the flights, hotel, and conference costs for the top 30 scoring participants to attend Conference for Applied Machine Learning in Information Security and do a similar exercise working together in person. I was one of the 30 who beat out the competition (there were over 500 participants) and was able to attend the conference in Washington DC (technically Arlington, Virginia but you could see the capitol building from the room we were red teaming in so I call it what I want)

• I worked and still work on multiple official UWEC research projects, more information here

• In 2024 I went to the Midwestern Undergraduate Data Analytics Competition where as part of a team from UWEC, we stayed up for 26 hours straight analyzing various datasets from a real life client in order to answer questions about crop optimization and then presented to judges. In 2025 I led our team

• I have taken Chinese in school since middle school (I earned a Chinese certificate in college) and I'm learning Arabic and Klingon

  • UWEC has an annual international poetry reading night where readers read poetry in languages other than English. In 2024 I read a poem by Matsuo Basho in Japanese, in 2025 I read a Chinese poem with a group of two other students and a Hamlet soliloquy (To Be Or Not To Be) in Klingon

• I've trained in various martial arts for over 11 years

  • Wadokai Aikido since 2014

  • Shorin Ryu Karate since 2023

  • Shotokan Karate for an honors class in Spring 2025, I have since became the treasurer of the newly formed Shotokan Karate club

  • Tai Chi since 2023

• Junior and senior year of high school I was a "tech intern", a group which operated a helpdesk for staff and students. During the summer for those years I also worked as an intern with the IT department, we upgraded systems, managed the hundreds of Chromebooks and IPads that the school district owned, and checked the AV technology in every classroom of the 10 school district

• During my senior year of high school I did the "Start College Now" program, which means that my high school paid for me to go to my local technical college (which happens to have one of the best cyber programs in the state) and take classes in addition to my high school coursework. I learned invaluable skills there that I (if I learned at all) wouldn't have learned traditionally until my junior or senior year (Cisco Networking, Linux, Bash, Enterprise Clients, Security 1)

• During my senior year I competed in the Future Business Leader's of America coding and programming competition, winning first at state and going to nationals in Atlantafirst at state

• I use Linux everyday on my personal computer and at my job, where my work laptop and the clusters run Rocky Linux

• In 2024 was asked by UWEC's Chief Information Security Officer to help demo physical cyber attacks during a training for our campus police department. I also work with our CISO on various other projects
