Who's This nwf Guy Anyway?
##########################

I'm Nathaniel Wesley Filardo (among other names).  Born in 1984 (how time
flies), I flirted with being a physicist at Carnegie Mellon University but
ultimately acquired my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins, as part of
the Dyna programming language effort.  I was then a postdoc in the `the CTSRD
team <https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/>`_ at Cambridge
University, primarily thinking about temporal safety for capability systems `I
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/nfilardo/>`_ now work for
Microsoft Research, in Cambridge, UK.

A list of my publications is available :doc:`here
<publications-and-talks/index>`.  (My ORCiD is
https://orcid.org/0009-0002-9698-1503.)

My Academic (i.e., publication-oriented) CV is available :download:`here
<_cv/out/cv-academic.pdf>`.

Contact
#######

The easiest ways to contact me are as ``nwf`` via...

  * email: add ``+receptionist@cmx.ietfng.org``.

  * Libera IRC: if I happen to not to be connected, ``MemoServ`` can doubtless
    take a message on my behalf.

  * `SDF <https://sdf.org/>`_'s Mastodon instance, https://mastodon.sdf.org/@nwf .

  * XMPP: on the the cclub jabber server, ``club.cc.cmu.edu``, which supports
    full federation.

Of late I have adopted use of a Yubikey as a PGP smartcard.  The private
bits exist only in the smartcard and my :doc:`offline key management machine
</sysadmin/pogo-offline-keys>`; the public bits available :download:`here
<nwf.pgp.asc>` (the authentication subkey is available in :download:`ssh
format <nwf.pgp.ssh>`).
