Summary
Daniel Hu is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in kernel development, security, cryptography, embedded systems, bootloaders, Linux, and hardware. He currently works on Android AOSP and operating systems for augmented reality at Meta, after building ARM security libraries and contributing cryptography support for OpenSSL and ISA-L at Arm. His background spans payment security and embedded firmware—delivering PCI-certified SPoC/CPoC solutions, secure boot, secure enclaves, and EMV implementations across diverse silicon platforms. Daniel combines deep low-level systems expertise from a long tenure at Motorola with practical product-focused engineering for mobile and banking platforms. He’s comfortable bridging hardware and software boundaries and has a track record of shipping security-critical infrastructure in both consumer and enterprise contexts. Based in Cambridge, UK, he brings a pragmatic blend of research-grade cryptography and hands-on embedded systems engineering that often surfaces in cross-domain integrations rather than just isolated components.
