I'm Stefan, an ML security researcher and software engineer from the UK.

I work for and helped build as a Founding ML Engineer. Mindgard is a first-of-its-kind security company for ML models and their deployments. I’m also a PhD researcher at Lancaster University in both the Distributed Systems, and Security Lancaster groups.

I graduated from Lancaster SCC in 2021, and have since taught:

• - SCC203 Networking
• - SCC211 Operating Systems
• - SCC411 Big Data Systems

Most of my time is spent learning about ML, both in theory and production. I work with attacks against ML models ranging from those targeting public API’s all the way down to execution signatures on bare metal. Currently, my focus is on ML compilation.

Being one of the founding team members of Mindgard also let me build up skills in NodeJS, React and their associated libraries in a full-stack capacity.
