Christian Lopez

Senior Engineer at Apple, focused on AI and designing novel experiences—in Python, React, Swift, and more—that feel closer to science fiction than software. Led Apple features from concept to launch, reaching over a billion users.

Currently, I lead the Interlinked team, building an internal AI framework and platform in Python, Swift, and Java. Interlinked is used by tens of thousands of employees to integrate AI into workflows, and supports the largest AI channel at Apple.

Previously, I single-handedly built and designed security.apple.com for encrypted vulnerability submissions, designing its state-of-the-art security architecture. I co-architected and built Lockdown Mode, an iOS feature to protect against highly sophisticated attacks, and worked on Vision Pro's core OS.
