> coreboot is one of the leading extended firmware frameworks, which recently gain popularity thanks to being default boot firmware for Google Chromebooks. It is promoted by Open Compute Project Open System Firmware Committee and recognized by Qubes OS Team as viable option for Hardware Certification.

He worked on the x86-side of the T2 SecureBoot architecture, and his final project was leading the M1 SecureBoot architecture - being directly responsible for designing a system that could provide iOS-level security, while still allowing customer choice to trust arbitrary non-Apple code such as Linux bootloaders. He left Apple in Dec 2020 after the M1 Macs shipped, so he could work full time on Open Security Training.
