About me
Early on in life, I fell in love with seeing the mathematics that underpin modern cryptographic systems, and a certain beauty of those systems. I studied security in school, ending with an MSc from Royal Holloway (you can blame them for Lucky 13, among other things). My thesis was on trust in anonymity networks, because it was a difficult enough problem to keep me interested. I've been working in the information security industry since. Unlike most members of the platform team, I was not involved in the community before the foundation hired me, although I've had a passion for open source and openness in security throughout my career. Working for the foundation has given me a new window into what security can look like in open and transparent organizations.
