Hello.

I am Chester.

I'm Co-Founder and Head of Platform Architecture at Opaque. We're building the confidential AI platform that unlocks sensitive data to securely accelerate AI into production. Join us!

Previously, I received my graduate and undergraduate degrees in computer science from UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Professor Raluca Ada Popa in the RISE Lab. My research focused on leveraging confidential computing to build secure systems for AI. I've also spent time at Facebook, where I worked on improving the quality of ads delivered to users.

Outside of work I enjoy yoga and playing volleyball. I also volunteer at Berkeley Animal Care Services, where I train dogs and new (human) volunteers.
