I’d like to announce that I’m looking for a new role. Much of what I what I do is being a foundational builder of the privacy engineering field and leading teams so companies build products and infrastructure which are respectful of privacy, security, and anti-abuse.
I’m an expert in privacy regulation, including leading most of the engineering side of Google's GDPR readiness effort and personally reviewing virtually every product at Google and Alphabet.
I designed quite a bit of Google's privacy and security infrastructure, including Zanzibar (the global authorization system). Built a fair bit of it, too.
I’ve done incident response for high profile security and privacy incidents, including nation-state-driven incidents. I’m not posting details on Twitter.
I founded (with Prof. Lorrie Cranor of Carnegie Mellon) USENIX PEPR, the first conference for privacy engineering in practice. A member of the Advisory Board of the IAPP Privacy Engineering Section, Program Co-Chair of USENIX @enigmaconf 2021, and an organizer of @OURSAConference

I have a PhD in cryptography from Carnegie Mellon University and a BS in electrical engineering and computer science from UC Berkeley.
I want to work with great people. Think your company would be a great match or know someone who would? Reply or drop me a DM. I'd love to hear from you.
