NJIT Ying Wu College of Computing '29 | Newark, NJ

CS student building privacy-first AI systems, browser tools, and security-focused software. Research assistant at NJIT studying security education at scale.

I grew up fascinated by how systems work beneath the surface. That curiosity led me from programming to AI and eventually cybersecurity. Today I'm focused on building tools that give users control over their data, and researching how we teach the next generation to do the same.
