I build bridges between engineering, product, and customer experience to deliver software that scales—and matters. Over two decades, I’ve led programs and teams across Meta and Microsoft, shipping secure, high-availability solutions in cryptography, mobile, messaging, and endpoint management.
Experience
2022 — Now
Cryptography & Data Security
• Drove PKI credential hardening program protecting billions of production credentials, increasing IP binding enforcement for nearly all TLS connections and deploying TPM-signed delegated credentials across Meta's fleet. Presented findings at the 34th USENIX Security Symposium.
• Led the migration of 15 Android apps (including WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger) to Google Play App Signing, resolving a 4-year execution gap and enabling rotation to cryptographically secure signing keys.
• Led a cross-functional security program to harden access controls on Meta's core social graph data store, reducing direct access risk, eliminating unreviewed code access paths, and cutting database read/write grants.
• Drove XFN alignment and developed a Crypto Maturity metric, migrating cryptographic keys to recommended algorithms, tightening open ACLs, rotating keys, and usage of secure wrapper keys.
• Defined specifications for key rotation with change safety, automatic rotation, and key deactivation and deletion, foundational lifecycle capabilities adopted across Meta's key management service serving all cryptographic operations.
• Founded Meta's Crypto Advisory Group, recruiting cryptographers across the organization and completing multiple design reviews of cryptographic implementations, including Messenger's encrypted storage protocol.
• Defined Autograph's long-term vision and drove 0→1 delivery of notarization (artifact provenance verification) and code signing guidelines for a platform handling millions of daily signing operations.
• Secured executive approval for Meta's encryption-at-rest strategy, enabling the team to execute encryption-at-rest efforts across Meta’s warm and cold storage offerings.
• Established OKR framework, planning processes, and roadmaps for Cryptography (5 pods, 30+ engineers).
