Ithaca, Ny

Researched and developed applications using Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions) using C++. Worked with constrained environments, which lacked in terms of system resources, operating system features, and software libraries. Primary application was in verifiable and trustworthy execution of software where commands were fed to the program via the Ethereum blockchain.
