About

I am a security software engineer specializing in applied cryptography, security, and privacy-respecting systems. I develop usable security and applied cryptography for production from protocol design to server-side deployment. I currently work at Zoom, where I’m implementing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Zoom products, including video meetings. I've been building a privacy-preserving key transparency tree to support auditable user identity, for which we’ve formalized the security properties of its underlying zero-knowledge cryptography primitives. I've also led the design and implementation of features such as third-party attestations of users’ cryptographic keys. Additionally I am a maintainer of the Zoom Cryptography Whitepaper, and have spoken at conferences about our work.
