Projects

These are some of my current and past projects.

Current Projects


SLSA is a security framework, a checklist of standards and controls to prevent tampering, improve integrity, and secure packages and infrastructure. It’s how you get from “safe enough” to being as resilient as possible, at any link in the chain.

I am working on SLSA tooling for GitHub that supports SLSA v1.0 Build L3 at slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator and SLSA provenance verification at slsa-framework/slsa-verifier.

Past Projects


gVisor is an open-source Linux-compatible sandbox that runs anywhere existing container tooling does. It enables cloud-native container security and portability. gVisor leverages years of experience isolating production workloads at Google.

I made major improvements to gVisor in the areas of Linux kernel compatibility, DOS prevention through resource management, crash reporting, OCI seccomp support, and Kubernetes integrations including the minikube addon, containerd shim, Docker, and Knative.


Connpass is an IT events platform developed while at BeProud. It made early use of social media connections as a way to recommend events, and provided unique features needed by the IT community.

I began and led early development starting from scratch through launch in Oct 2011, and continuing until 2014. I led technical development and design, proposing, designing, developing and launching numerous features including social network integration, multiple attendee types, access analytics, and community group management.


PyCon JP is the largest event for the Python Community in Japan which boasts 10s of thousands of members thanks in large part to it’s efforts. It is currently supported by the PyCon JP non-profit foundation which helps new developers through bootcamps, learning events, and sponsorships.

I co-founded PyCon JP with Manabu Terada, Iqbal Abdullah, and Yasushi Masuda while at PyCon Singapore in 2010. After that I held various roles in the event, serving mostly as international liason, recruiting international speakers, but also contributing to the program committee. I was media lead for PyCon JP 2014 where I re-built the website, CFP, and presentation session management. I served on the board of the PyCon JP non-profit foundation as Vice Chair from it’s inception in 2013 until 2019.
