defence in depth

Welcome to my site! I post articles on tech, especially cybersecurity.

I am a Graduate Trainee at Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong. In 2025, I graduated with my MSc in IT (Cybersecurity Concentration) from HKUST. Here is my CV.

Here's some stuff I've updated in the past, with varying degrees of 'activeness'.

In the past this used to be a cybersecurity-adjacent blog. However, in the past few months, I have become convinced that AI safety and alignment are some of the most acute problems of our time. As such, I have dropped the cybersecurity stuff and am now attempting to brush up on my maths and ML knowledge in the hope of contributing to a solution, even if only in some small way.
