Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicola Malloy is a Performance Architect with a decade of experience building high-performance, security-focused systems across cloud, edge, and embedded domains. She led on-device telemetry for satellite and gateway fleets at Amazon and helped launch TLS 1.3 support in CloudFront through contributions to the open-source s2n TLS library, improving latency and security for global users. Her background spans automotive motorsports analytics and in-vehicle systems at Ford to low-level cryptographic protocol work at AWS, giving her a rare blend of real-time systems, data-driven insight, and protocol-level security expertise. Now based in Kailua, Hawaii and currently at Apple, she focuses on squeezing latency and reliability gains from complex distributed stacks. An early-career researcher in neuro-prosthetics and approximate computing, she brings experimental rigor and a penchant for instrumenting hard-to-observe systems.
