Bill Hudson is a Principal Software Engineer with over 30 years of experience building secure, protocol-driven systems across telecom, VoIP, encryption, and cloud domains. At Cisco he helped originate Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) and contributed to FIPS and elliptic-curve cryptography efforts, earning a Cisco Pioneer Award for work that preceded ETA. He blends hands-on engineering—from embedded call-processing and voice protocols to iOS and web UIs—with leadership in security policy, certification frameworks, and cloud security standards. As CTO of Next Level3 he focused on consumer-facing Zero Trust credential controls, and as a founder he built and ran FantasyPostseason.com for 15 years before its sale. He’s an advocate for applied threat analytics and aligns secure software practices with frameworks like the CISA SSDf while mentoring cross-functional teams. Based in North Carolina, he pairs deep systems-level expertise with a rare mix of product ownership and operational experience.
