Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Crews is a software engineer with nine years of experience focused on the intersection of systems design and computer security, currently building software at Google from Mountain View. He blends low-level, fault-tolerant systems work with applied security practices, leveraging strong expertise in Rust, C, C++, Java, and Python to make code provably more correct via type systems. Paul has hands-on experience in low-power embedded and networked systems, including notable contributions to the widely used Tock OS—implementing 6LoWPAN compression, fragmentation, and testing to bring IPv6 networking to constrained devices. A former vulnerability researcher and member of Stanford’s TockOS team, he combines academic research rigor with production engineering discipline and a knack for refactoring and improving long-lived codebases.
