Hello! I'm Sydney Gibson. I am a security engineering manager at Google, where I lead efforts to secure products that use AI.

Previously, I led an engineering team that built and deployed secure manufacturing systems for open source–based, high-performance AI chips. I also helped raise $10 million in funding. Earlier in my career, I worked as a software engineer at Aurora, where I did a wide range of work leading up to the launch of the first driverless long-haul truck.

I spent time in academia as a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University and as a researcher at Google. During this time, I formally verified cryptographic security routines for OpenTitan, which became the first commercial open silicon chip. I was also a member of the Everest Project, where I contributed to multiple verification frameworks that came out of the project. I received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship in 2020, and left my program in 2022.

I received my B.S. and M.Eng. from MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. While there, I worked with the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group.
