I'm a technology leader and hands-on builder with over two decades of experience creating secure and scalable platforms.
I've had an incredible journey through a variety of roles that have truly enriched my experience! I've enjoyed building secure platforms, architecting solutions for enterprises and governments, and advising startups on their very first products. I've also had the privilege of leading teams, mentoring others, and shaping technical directions.
Some of my notable projects include architecting a Kubernetes-based platform for centralised tax processing for the government, creating a Kubernetes-based platform to add guardrails for protecting nodes from workloads, implementing confidential computing for safeguarding sensitive data in untrusted environments, and architecting a Kubernetes-based solution for regulated industries, among others.
I am an avid movie lover and enjoy lively debates on history, religion, and philosophy.

Session
The principle of "Don't trust, verify" is fundamental, yet cloud computing often forces users to place implicit trust in opaque infrastructure and the organizations that audit the clouds.
Now you have options to follow that principle.
Confidential computing provides a fundamental change in this paradigm: hardware based trusted execution environments (TEEs) allow the cryptographic isolation of a users workload from underlying infrastructure providers, and this isolation can be verified on demand using a remote attestation.
This talk will explain the fundamentals of confidential computing including TEE’s and how remote attestation can be used to verify the integrity of the TEE. After laying this foundation this talk will explore the overlapping projects in the ecosystem such as Trustee, Keylime, fs-verity, ConfidentialContainers; and what is required to assemble these projects in a way that allows you to cryptographic verify of your security posture.
