Summary
Harold Carr is a seasoned research engineer and architect with over 20 years building distributed systems, middleware, and programming language implementations, currently driving privacy-enhancing technologies at Oracle Labs. He pioneered the PEPT remoting system during his Ph.D. on Distributed C++, applied it to CORBA, SOAP and InfiniBand in large-scale products, and holds related patents and publications. At Sun and Oracle he led architectures for reliable messaging, identity, transactions and InfiniBand integration for WebLogic; earlier roles include language design (Lisp, Distributed C++) and circuit simulation. Equally at home in deep research and product engineering, he has recently focused on verified credentials, selective disclosure, zero-knowledge proofs and threshold proxy reencryption. Based in Salt Lake City, he blends rigorous academic pedigree with decades of pragmatic systems shipping experience, often surfacing novel cross-domain ideas from language and hardware work into cloud infrastructure.
