๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey, I'm Gabriella!

Iโ€™m a Software Engineer and cybersecurity researcher based in Canada, with a deep love for solving real-world problems through code โ€” and a slightly unhealthy obsession with competitive gaming ๐Ÿ˜„.

๐Ÿง  What I Do

I'm a recent Master's graduate in Software Engineering from Western University, where I focused my research on securing EV charging infrastructure. My thesis explored open-source tools like EVerest and MQTT, modeled real-world attack scenarios, and built machine learning-based intrusion detection systems to keep our electric future safe. ๐Ÿ”Œโšก

Recently, I also built and deployed a portfolio chatbot that uses a combination of Go, React, Neo4j, and LLM-powered intent parsing to answer questions about my experience in real time. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Try it here

Professionally, Iโ€™ve worn many hats:

  • Full-Stack Developer at Hyperpad, a YC-backed startup โ€” I led backend development, built GraphQL APIs, collaborated with designers, and mentored new devs.
  • Teaching Assistant at Western, where I ran labs on AWS, JavaFX, web dev, and more. I loved helping students build confidence in their code.
  • Hackathon warrior ๐Ÿฅ‡ โ€” Iโ€™ve competed in multiple hackathons, placing in two (SheHacks and TamuHacks)

๐Ÿ›  Tech I Work With

  • Languages: Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby
  • Frameworks: React, Next.js, Ruby on Rails, Node.js
  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), Docker, Nginx
  • Data: Neo4j, PostgreSQL, Firebase, MQTT
  • ML & Security: Scikit-learn, packet sniffing tools (Kali Linux), intrusion detection systems

๐Ÿ•น Outside of Code

  • ๐Ÿง  Ex-varsity esports athlete (shoutout to VALORANT)
  • ๐ŸŽฎ I treat every pull request like itโ€™s match point
  • ๐Ÿฅค Caffeine dependent life form

๐Ÿ“ฌ Let's Connect

Whether you want to talk backend systems, cybersecurity, hackathons, or how to clutch a 1v3 on Ascent โ€” Iโ€™m always up for a good chat.
