About

Currently building the execution layer for the agent era. Previously serve as Director of Gateway at Kong. As the founding engineering leader, I’ve helped evolve Kong from an open-source API gateway into a full-stack microservices platform — bridging open-source traction with enterprise adoption. I built Kong’s Shanghai engineering hub from the ground up, scaling it to a 50+ person team now driving innovation in API management and AI infrastructure for 700+ enterprise customers. Before Kong, I led edge engineering at Cloudflare , where I helped scale systems serving trillions of daily requests across CDN, WAF, and DDoS products. Talk to me about distributed systems, resilient infra, and network scaling — the good stuff.

ClawShell - The Runtime Security Layer OpenClaw needs

OpenClaw is powerful because it operates with real credentials to perform real work. That same power makes it an attractive target. So we built ClawShell. It assumes agent execution is adversarial by default. Secrets are isolated behind a separate privileged process, enforced at the OS level. Even if the agent is fully hijacked, it only sees virtual identifiers. Onboarding takes less than a minute and requires no changes to OpenClaw. Apache 2.0 licensed. Written in Rust.
