01 · About

Hi, I’m Keem.

I’m a Computer Science senior developing skills in LLM application engineering and security. I build things to understand them: a RAG chatbot running on a local model, a multi-tenant backend that enforces access rules in the database, and write-ups that show my reasoning, not just screenshots.

Coursework in cryptography, operating systems and network security gives me the theory; my projects are where I test it. Long term, I’m working toward security leadership.
