About Me
Before coming to Stanford, I spent nearly ten years in industry working on
computer security issues. My work primarily consisted of network penetration
studies and development of intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS). I have
worked at three successful startups, including one that I co-founded. Lately,
most of my research work has been centered around
Ethane, a security architecture for
enterprise networks. The
OpenFlow,
Open vSwitch, and
NOX projects are
rooted in some of the research from Ethane. If you are interested in more
details, you can read my resume.
