My technical interests evolve as tech evolves, so the professional identity that I aspire towards is constantly evolving. However, the personal identity that I aspire towards remains constant, and that is to become an excellent grandma.

That said, "I want to be a grandma" makes for a shoddy elevator pitch in Silicon Valley. My five commandments of Excellent Grandmaism don't even fit in 30 seconds.

Independent researcher and engineer in the Bay Area. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University where I studied computer science. Before college, I competed in CTFs with redpwn and Dicegang.

I like computer systems, security, and good storytelling. If you'd like to talk, please email me at jessica dot ruan at outlook dot com.
