Navaneeth Rameshan

Senior Research Developer at IBM Research - Zurich at IBM

About

Navaneeth Rameshan is a senior research developer at IBM Research - Zurich, focused on applied cryptography and cloud security. He is driven by building tangible solutions to real-world security challenges, with multiple contributions across IBM Cloud services including Key Protect, Hyper Protect Crypto Service, Secrets Manager, and the IBM Kubernetes Service. His work includes quantum-safe integrations across diverse stacks, scalable middleware for HSMs and private PKI systems, many of which are deployed and in production today. He has also led architectural efforts to enable seamless migration to post-quantum cryptography. With a hands-on, systems-level approach, he aims to bridge research and engineering to make quantum-safe security practical at scale.
