I have designed and built research systems that improve:

• TLS Web PKI maintainability and security (see Hammurabi and CRLite; the latter is currently deployed in the Firefox browser).
• stateful serverless function programmability and performance (details to come).
• DNS at content-delivery networks (details to come).
