J.C. is a distributed computing and cryptography geek. He co-founded an information security startup in Chandler, AZ; worked for the Air Force Research Lab, ViaSat, and General Dynamics C4S as a software engineer; and has been an active contributor to the Open Source Software community. Additionally, he holds several U.S. patents in the information security field. His goal in any project is to design away complexity wherever possible. Overall, J.C. loves solving hard problems with computer systems and making the world a better place through software.
J.C. designed and is responsible for the SAIFE core public key infrastructure technology around which SAIFE, Inc. was built. J.C. provides leadership for the product's software and systems architecture, and is responsible for the availability of SAIFE's worldwide Internet security infrastructure, TIPRNET, used by the growing partner community.
During the infancy of the SAIFE technology, J.C. consulted at ViaSat, providing expertise to help with one of their embedded cryptography products destined for Department of Defense use.
J.C. re-designed and re-implemented a malfunctioning cryptographic management system late in the MUOS satellite communications project. The resulting system was substantially less complex and helped ensure an on-time delivery.
While at the BEBR, J.C. led the redesign (and rewiring) of a 50-person research call-center using Asterisk to dramatically lower operations and training costs.
