Top SchoolKen Raeburn is a senior software engineer with nearly three decades of hands-on experience in systems, compilers, and network protocol security, currently applied at Red Hat from Cambridge, MA. He brings deep expertise in Kerberos, GSS-API, cryptography and cross-platform issues, combining low-level compiler and assembler work from the 1990s with modern security design and analysis. His background includes performance-tuned, multithreaded systems for data deduplication and long-term stewardship of Kerberos at MIT, including IPv6 and thread-safety enhancements and IETF engagement. Known for pragmatic engineering across Unix/Linux environments, he excels at bridging protocol standards, security advisories, and production-grade code maintenance—a profile that blends compiler internals with protocol-security rigor.
