Biography

Paul is a cryptographic security architect but also moonlights building AI datacenters. A founding member of the Python Cryptographic Authority, Paul has played a large part in the development of three major cryptographic libraries in Python since 2013. The principal library, pyca/cryptography, is the de facto standard cryptographic library in Python and depends heavily on OpenSSL and its forks. Paul has a focus on misuse resistant cryptography, both for developers and implementers, and deeply believes in the need for memory safety in foundational libraries.
