Matthew Miller is a Principal Engineer with 12 years of full-stack web and identity-focused experience, currently driving passwordless and digital credential strategy at Cisco. He pivoted from agency web development into IAM and internet standards, now shaping passkey adoption as an active contributor and technical writer in W3C WebAuthn and digital credentials efforts and as a FIDO Alliance board member. Matthew blends developer empathy with standards work, authoring TypeScript and Python open-source libraries to make complex security APIs intuitive and easy to adopt—see notable contributions to the widely referenced webauthn repo and py_webauthn. He has led product-facing passwordless initiatives at Cisco and built high-throughput, low-latency systems in prior roles, demonstrating both design and delivery chops. Based in Irvine, CA, he pairs a business administration background with hands-on engineering, plus a knack for translating standards into practical SDKs that developers actually want to use.
