Projects & Publications

Contributed to system evaluation and large-scale experiments on real-world cloud-native applications, validating automated micro-segmentation policy generation under realistic deployment scenarios.

Performed vulnerability analysis and proof-of-concept exploitation on open-source Kubernetes Operators, uncovering real-world privilege escalation issues and contributing to responsible disclosure with 2 assigned CVEs.

• Designed and implemented a multi-layer compiler end-to-end, independently completing a two-person course project using modern compiler architecture.
• Built a full compilation pipeline from source code to intermediate representation (IR) and assembly code generation.
• Implemented core data-flow analyses including reaching definitions and liveness analysis, and designed a graph-coloring-based register allocator.
• Applied performance optimizations such as dead code elimination and loop unrolling, achieving a top-5 ranking in the final compiler competition.
