“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” John Wooden

At Galois, we develop technology that provides guarantees of system trustworthiness.  For critical cyber-physical embedded systems, we design and compose these systems with components that are correct by construction and secure by design so they are done right the first time.  For legacy systems, we deliver technologies that provide new capabilities and increased trust while significantly upgrading the systems’ cyber security.  My passion is to transition our compelling research and technology into broader application through high-impact market offerings.
