Education
Master of Science in Computer Science & Engineering UW Comp Sci, June 1999.
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington: Department of Computer Science
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Cornell EE, January 1992.
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York: College of Engineering
Employment History
Intel Corporation
February 1997 – Present; Seattle area, WA
Senior Principal Engineer (2014+)
Sr. Staff Sw Engr, Principal Engineer (2006-2014):
Member of the core architecture team for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Tiano implementation.
Lead scaling of the Intel Firmware Support Package (FSP) from 1.0 through the 2.4 specification https://github.com/intel/FSP/wiki along with Universal Scalable Firmware (USF) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/universal-scalable-firmware.html. Opening up the IA IOT, client and server platforms through various communities, including OCP OSF.
Lead design and standardization efforts from Intel for the feature known as UEFI Secure Boot in the UEFI2.3.1c specification and featured in Microsoft Windows8 and other Linux distributions. See the ITJ and Tianocore website publications for more information.
Developed first EFI/UFEI TPM interface API and platform specification in the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). Presently Intel's representative to the TCG Technical Committee (TC).
Worked on Solid State Disk (SSD) firmware, Opal disk encryption, and UEFI interfaces.
Chair of the UEFI Networking Subteam. In the 2.3 UEFI specification, we delivered enhancements to pre-OS networking and network booting which include greater throughput, robustness, and security. To that end, evolved the ISCSI and PXE boot to leverage IPV6, including discoverable boot using RFC 5970 (co-author). The IPV6 version of PXE is known as 'netboot6.' Delivered HTTP, HTTP-S, and Wi-Fi boot.
Contibuted to the NIST 800-193 specification and creation of firmware packages for update and recovery.
Chair of the UEFI Security Subteam (USST). Evolve future UEFI security technologies, including smart card, key management, device updates, and secure boot enhancements up to and including the latest UEFI 2.10 specification security content. Created many defense-in-depth and infrastructure features along with novel verification tools including use of symbolic execution (e.g., Excite work), fuzzing (SIMICS and HBA + AFL), and model checking.
Led development of the Pre-EFI Interface (PEI) portion of Tiano architecture PEI specification (now part of the UEFI Platform Initialization Specification, volume 1) and wrote the System Management Mode (SMM) binding. Helped drive the x64 and XScale port. This work on EFI/UEFI/PI and source implementations like EDKII have been shipped in over 3 billion devices.
