Now

What I’m working on, reading, and thinking about — updated periodically. A page in the spirit of nownownow.com.

Working on

• Leading OpenTitan at Google — building secure, reliable provisioning across hardware and software for ChromeOS, data center, and beyond.
• Sharpening engineering practices and review culture across a multi-team, multi-org program.

Reading and learning

• Capability-based hardware architectures — CHERI and CHERIoT.
• Memory-safe systems languages and how they interact with secure hardware.
• The leadership tradeoffs of running zero-to-one projects inside large organizations.

Writing

• Posts on engineering, leadership, and the lessons of building real systems with real constraints.
• On the near-term radar: secure provisioning at scale, capability hardware in production, engineering leadership at the staff and principal level.

Outside work

• Strength training and running, with an eye on long-term resilience.
• Time with family, two cats, and the occasional guitar session.
• Looking for ways to stay grounded in the AI moment without losing curiosity.
