Ray Iskander

About

Strategic advisor focused on quantum-resistant computing, open hardware architectures, and decentralized AI infrastructure. I work with organizations navigating the transition to quantum-safe systems—particularly in hardware security, post-quantum cryptography implementation, and next-generation processor validation. Current research areas: - Post-quantum cryptography in RISC-V and open ISA environments - Decentralized validation frameworks for hardware security - Quantum threat mitigation strategies for long-lifecycle systems (automotive, aerospace, IoT) Background: 25+ years in enterprise technology strategy with deep focus on open innovation ecosystems—from open source software to open hardware architectures. Open to conversations with engineers, researchers, and organizations working on quantum-safe hardware, open processor architectures, or decentralized infrastructure. Let's connect if you're solving hard problems in these domains.
