About Bilal Raza

I’m a senior at the University of Miami majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Cryptography & Security and a minor in Mathematics. I have experience in cybersecurity, software development, and academic support, currently working as an Information Security Consultant Intern at ERMProtect where I conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and risk analysis to strengthen client security. Previously, I interned at EarlyBirdLabs, developing Python-based tools and contributing to full-stack projects for startups. I’ve also served as a Computer Science Teaching Assistant, mentoring students in data structures, algorithms, and systems programming. Outside the classroom, I’m involved in the Undergraduate Honor Council, promoting academic integrity, and the ECO Agency’s Waste Diversion Committee, supporting campus sustainability initiatives. I’m passionate about applying my technical skills to create secure, ethical, and impactful solutions. Feel free to reach out to me via email at b••••••••@gmail.com.
