Joining Mozilla

July 6th, 2009

… and my first post!!

After a good long while in school (essentially my entire life to date, in fact), I complete a Ph.D at Stanford University and join Mozilla Corporation. I’ve enjoyed contributing to Mozilla for many years, in which time I’ve helped improve performance, clean up code, add features, improve privacy, and (probably most significantly) become owner of the cookie module. I hope to continue these activities, with one notable addition: my primary focus at Mozilla will now be static analysis, working to improve code quality and performance for the entire Mozilla platform. I will be working mostly with Taras Glek, Benjamin Smedberg, and David Mandelin among others, and I’ll be blogging soon about some of the problems we hope to solve.

There’s a lot to be done, and I’m excited to finally be able to devote some serious time to it!

    I’m jealous. Static analysis looks like a lot of fun, and potentially a sounder approach to creating secure code than fuzzing.

    Feels weird to say welcome to you, especially since you’ve been hacking on Mozilla probably since before I had even heard of it. ;)

    Welcome!

    Glad to see you got that lame Ph.D. stuff out of the way and now you can hack on useful stuff. ;-)
