My Projects
I am a senior software engineer at Mark43 with over 7 years of experience in backend development and a passion for mentorship and team leadership. Before joining Mark43, I worked at Palantir for one year as a Forward Deployed Engineer.
I studied computer science at Harvard, where I developed a passion for the growing intersection of technology, privacy, and government. As part of my career, I have had the opportunity to work at the Federal Trade Commission, a data use protection startup, and with professors at the vanguard of privacy research. My study of privacy vulnerabilities in darknet markets was covered by international media—read about it and my other work below!
As a hobby on the side, I manage the websites of my sister Karyn Lisker, and my friends Zev Kane and Ian Miller.
