My Projects
I am a senior software engineer with over 7 years of experience in backend development and a passion for mentorship and team leadership. I am currently working at a new company still in stealth. Previously, I worked at Mark43 for six years and at Palantir for one year.
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.
