I'm Yusuf, a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech, focused on hardware security and computer architecture.
Last summer I did computer architecture security research at the Princeton-Intel REU, working on microarchitectural information flow tracking and speculative execution attacks. I also do CPU design verification at SiliconJackets, Georgia Tech's student chip design club, where I'm Treasurer. Outside of that I've worked on malware reverse engineering, cryptographic hardware on FPGA, automotive sensor hardware, and enterprise-scale automation, including a custom Teams migration platform that replaced $30k vendor contracts.
I grew up in New Jersey, where I got into technology through Scouting and robotics. I'm an Eagle Scout and was Lead Programmer for my FTC team, which qualified for the World Championship. Outside of academics, I enjoy beekeeping, hiking, and esports.
I like working across both hardware and software, and I'm most interested in the problems that sit where the two meet.
