At Intel he led confidential computing stacks (SGX/TDX), initiated the open-source CC API and tuned GenAI inference for high-concurrency on novel accelerators, and now builds HPC/AI stack research at Zhejiang Lab. Ken is an active open-source innovator (EDK2, Kepler power measurement) and frequent speaker at KubeCon and Linux Plumbers, reflecting both community leadership and applied research. Notably, he architects end-to-end confidential Data Clean Room and a GenAI trading SDK that bridge research prototyping to deployable products. Based in Shanghai, he combines pragmatic engineering execution with business acumen to turn complex trust and performance challenges into production-ready systems.
