Enable developers and application builders to build Zero Liability products and prevent data theft and breaches. Modeled after Apple’s iCloud Keychain (but even better!), the combination of SDK and supporting backend service provide a foolproof mechanism for app-developers to integrate data security and privacy into any application - both for consumer domain as well as enterprise space.Especially useful for SaaS services, and for protecting ultra-sensitive data where theft or loss can lead to irrecoverable damage.

As an early employee (one of first 3), touched upon all aspects of technology involved in creating a router from scratch - including hardware design, firmware design, system software running in conjunction with BSD networking stack (including device drivers, TCP/IP layers). Invented/co-invented novel forwarding algorithms to scale for the increasing speed of the internet, and filed several patents on different aspects of the technology. Very quickly became the de-facto goto person for all technical aspects of the product, as the company grew from 3 employees to over 200 after getting acquired by Ericsson - not just for other engineers, but also for sales and marketing teams, even helping in critical customer/partner conversations.
