About
I like engineering, I like security, and I usually engineer security-related products—though I’ve worked on a wide range of engineering problems and solutions. I’m passionate about designing and implementing useful systems, and I get real satisfaction from improving users’ lives, directly or indirectly.
I get particularly excited about building solutions that expand my analytical toolbox across computer science: operating systems, programming languages, compilers & program analysis, and machine learning. I believe strong security comes from broad perspective and rigorous engineering.
