Building identity, trust, and infrastructure at Internet scale.
Principal engineer with a deep systems foundation spanning Internet protocols, Linux, concurrent programming, distributed infrastructure, security architecture, and production reliability.
I apply that foundation to DNS, registrar systems, RDAP/WHOIS, PKI, and autonomous-agent trust. I lead ANS open-source engineering and major specification work, lead development of GoDaddy's ANS Registration Authority, and wrote its transparency-log implementation.
Built across the trust stack
From naming and authoritative data through identity, security, and autonomous-agent trust.

The identity and agent work sits on top of a broader engineering background: networks, operating systems, concurrency, distributed state, cryptography, performance, and the realities of operating critical services.
