From 2008 to 2010, I ran a blog that had a small following with 1-2 thousand hits a month. I stopped only due to my employer's publication and social media restrictions. While the restrictions had always been in place, I had justification to post due to my academic research. Unfortunately, that justification went away when I finished my Ph.D. in 2010. Sadly, I had to let it die.
I am now free of those restrictions and excited to announce my return to blogging. Instead of WordPress/Blogspot/etc, I will be doing things a little bit differently:
@almost-digital's fabulous Selfsteem app.Over the coming weeks, I will be re-posting the most popular blog posts from my archive. After that, expect posts on digital currency, machine learning, CRISPR, and all manner of miscellaneous topics that interest me.
Generally speaking, I am a technologist that builds secure, reliable, and scalable software. Some would call me a cryptographer, but at best I would say I am a cryptographic system or security engineer. I am currently working on digital freedom technologies and computational biology. You can check my LinkedIn and AngelList profiles for more information.
Before these, I was a technical co-founder for Lexumo, a startup that built a big data platform for tracking known vulnerabilities in open source software, which folded for business reasons in August 2017. Before Lexumo, I led an embedded systems security group focused on government R&D, implemented unhackable voter-verifiable election systems, and generally spent my time designing, analyzing, and building in computer security.
