Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJackson Sippe is a Ph.D. candidate and research assistant at the University of Colorado Boulder specializing in censorship circumvention, network security, and privacy with eight years of technical and leadership experience. He leverages an ISP-scale network tap to study large-scale benign traffic and design circumvention techniques that closely mimic legitimate protocol behavior, with a recent research emphasis on QUIC implementations and their privacy/security implications. Prior roles include co-founding a SaaS platform built on Flask/Vue/Postgres and hands-on project management in industrial construction, giving him a rare blend of systems research, full-stack engineering, and operational leadership. He’s identified real-world protocol flaws (including a TLS implementation leak) and uses that practical vulnerability insight to inform robust anti-censorship designs. Based in Boulder, he combines academic rigor with startup pragmatism to push protocol boundaries toward truly unrestricted internet access.
