MS in Information Security & Cryptography, Carnegie Mellon UniversityCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)Specialist in Zero-Knowledge Data Pipelines & Enterprise Compliance

Background & Academic Research

Raven Jiang is an information security architect and privacy engineer who specializes in cryptographic protocols, zero-knowledge architectures, and ephemeral data processing. With a background defending enterprise infrastructure in the financial technology sector, Raven brings rigorous defense-in-depth principles to consumer and workplace learning software.

Raven recognized early in the generative AI wave that enterprise professionals were rightfully wary of using AI voice tools on corporate workstations due to fears of acoustic surveillance, data leakage, and unauthorized model training on proprietary conversations.

At nthoughts, Raven architected our privacy-first data governance model. She implemented the strict cryptographic policy guaranteeing that raw microphone voice audio is never written to persistent disk, never archived in databases, and never utilized for training external foundation models, making nthoughts completely safe for corporate employees.

Guiding Pedagogical & Technical Philosophy

"True psychological safety in a learning environment begins with uncompromising data privacy. Learners cannot be vulnerable enough to make mistakes if they fear their voice might be recorded, reviewed by strangers, or leaked to third parties."
