Senior🎓
Top SchoolJarred Nicholls is an open source developer and technical speaker with 11+ years building high-performance, distributed systems across startups and major platforms. He has deep systems and security expertise demonstrated by contributions to WebKit, Chromium, Suricata, PostgreSQL/CitusDB, and significant Rust work in blockchain and telemetry systems. As an engineering leader and founder, he co-created GOEFER for plug-load energy management and later scaled engineering teams and products at IronNet, PolySign, AWS Security, and Onda. At AWS he optimized a Rust-based stream processor handling petabytes and billions of events per second, cutting latency and costs dramatically—work that underscores his focus on performance, telemetry, and behavioral analytics. Comfortable from kernel-level anomaly detection research to multi-party cryptographic signing on HSMs, he blends academic rigor with product-driven engineering. He’s also a seasoned conference speaker and standards contributor, bringing an uncommon mix of browser internals, cybersecurity, and energy-technology perspective.
