My name is Benson! I am currently a Security Engineer at Meta working on application security. I enjoy participating in CTFs or Capture the Flag competitions which are jeopardy-style cybersecurity events. I have worked at a variety of companies in security related roles such as SpaceX, Microsoft, Trail of Bits, and CrowdStrike. Previously, I was one of the Co-Presidents for ACM Cyber at UCLA and the Director for Psi Beta Rho, UCLA’s competetive cybersecurity team! I also founded UCLA’s largest cybersecurity competition, LA CTF!

This site is a collection of articles and writeups I have written for various cybersecurity related topics and CTF challenges.
