Brad Wetmore is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with over three decades of hands-on expertise in computer and network security, primarily shaping Java SE's security and networking foundations since the platform's 1.2.2 era. At Oracle and Sun he led core work on JSSE/JCE, SSL/TLS, cryptography standards and vulnerability analysis, served on the Cryptographic Review Board, and acted as a gatekeeper for high-quality OpenJDK releases. He combines low-level OS and kernel experience from Trusted Solaris with cross-platform development, build/test automation, and operational responsibilities as a lab/system administrator. Known for technical leadership of small teams, extensive product documentation, and public conference talks, he balances rigorous R&D with pragmatic production stewardship. Based in Sunnyvale, he remains open to applying his deep security and protocol expertise to adjacent domains like mapping, entertainment, or music where subtle trust and cryptographic requirements matter.
