I work on core security for Apple. (They invented the iPhone, have you heard of it?) Until recently, I was on leave from Harvard University, working as director of security architecture at One Laptop per Child, which was an education non-profit that aimed to produce a $100 laptop for children in the developing world. Prior to that, I served as director of research at the medical informatics laboratory of a European children's hospital, tackling infrastructure and security problems in wide-scale digital healthcare. I'm deeply involved in open-source and free software, co-authored Prentice Hall's best-selling Official Ubuntu Linux Book, and specialize in architecture and security of large distributed systems. I've consulted on both matters for some of the largest websites on the Internet. Described by Wired magazine as a "security guru", in 2007 the MIT Technology Review named me one of the world's top innovators under the age of 35 for my work on the OLPC security platform, Bitfrost. Recently, eWEEK magazine editors declared me one of the top three most influential people in modern computer security, and along with editors of CIO Insight and Baseline magazines, named me one of the top 100 most influential people in all of modern IT.
