Henry Eigen is an SDE II at AWS in New York with nine years of engineering experience and a BS in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He focuses on secure access control systems for AWS data centers, automating customer pain points and liaising on research with Johns Hopkins. His background blends academic research in adversarial defenses and computer vision with practical ML engineering—he contributed to the widely used Adversarial Robustness Toolbox by improving ProjectedGradientDescent initialization for adversarial training. Henry has taught probability courses and built high-performance RL policy implementations during research stints, reflecting a mix of rigorous theory and production-minded coding. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves smoothly between research prototypes and hardened, secure systems.

Contributions summary:Henry's contributions center on modifying the `ProjectedGradientDescent` attack within the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox. They added the functionality to randomly initialize epsilon within a truncated normal distribution, which is a technique used in adversarial training. The user also made code style changes and improved comments related to the `random_eps` parameter and related attack methodology. They are working with the core functionality of the framework, modifying and refining its behavior.
