Hey, I’m Allen Chang!

I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student studying mathematics and computer science at Georgia Tech.

Currently, I am working as a Cryptography intern at Trail of Bits. In the past, I have been advised by Fabian Monrose at the Astrolavos Lab in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My research is on self-modifying malware to extract intelligence sharing between cybersecurity vendors.

I play CTFs with Squid Proxy Lovers, a US-based CTF team of mostly undergraduates. My main category is crypto.

I’m also looking for a full-time job in cybersecurity or software engineering beginning early 2026. Please reach out to me if you’re interested in talking!
