PROFILE
Ryan Hooper
Ryan Hooper contributed to the curl/curl and openssl/openssl repositories, focusing on cryptographic feature development, security protocol alignment, and memory safety. He implemented hybrid KEM support in wolfSSL, aligning it with OpenSSL 3.5 to enhance TLS interoperability and cryptographic robustness using C and cryptography expertise. In openssl/openssl, Ryan clarified TLS configuration documentation and improved peer verification consistency, reducing misconfiguration risks. He also enhanced SSL trace observability and stabilized CI pipelines by addressing cross-compilation issues. Additionally, he fixed a memory leak in CMS_EncryptedData_set1_key, demonstrating attention to secure memory management. His work reflects depth in C programming, security, and build systems.
