Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKamran Khan is a Senior Software Engineer in the Greater Seattle Area with 11 years of experience building secure, distributed systems across Google, Salesforce, and Microsoft. He blends deep security expertise with systems and backend engineering—contributing to high-assurance open-source projects like google/OpenSK, where his Rust work improved APDU parsing and robustness for FIDO security keys. At Salesforce he progressed from lead developer to architect and returned to Google as a senior engineer, demonstrating both hands-on implementation and technical leadership. Kamran also founded a startup (ElectronBallot) reflecting an interest in applied cryptography and secure voting systems. Colleagues know him for pragmatic engineering that tightly couples correctness and security, and for an occasionally wry sense of humor about the risks of working at that intersection.
