Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Lewi is a research scientist at Facebook in Mountain View with a decade of experience building secure, scalable systems and applied cryptography. He holds a PhD in computer science from Stanford under Dan Boneh and blends deep cryptographic research with hands-on engineering. At Facebook he moved from security infrastructure into blockchain research, and earlier internships at Google and Facebook focused on recommender algorithms and searchable symmetric encryption. He contributes to production open-source projects like mcrouter, where he implemented SSL support and refactored logging for memcached routing at scale. Known for translating cryptographic theory into deployable systems, he excels at making sensitive-data features both practical and auditable.
