Brendon Eich has responded with a link to his previous thread:
There is back and forth between different technology solutions. What Brendon states is that any solution has to satisfy the following:
Puma's support for HNS support investigated. https://twitter.com/jonathansampson/status/1482835509223251972
HDNS.io HDNS.io is a public resolver created by Namebase that enables you to access Handshake domains by changing your DNS settings.
it seems very likely that mobile will need a gateway for the foreseeable; not decentralized. I haven't caught up with @MatthewZipkin lately, but I heard of an Impervious desktop preview coming this week. https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1516146679069626368
Beacon by @impervious already released for mobile with native HNS p2p networking and no gateway needed(*)
Beta for desktop is expected this or next week, is chromium based and will be open-sourced, so @Perpetualmaniac should have a breeze with that grant proposal! https://twitter.com/MatthewZipkin/status/1516161945447153665
(*) it does, however, require an external DoH server with HNS resolution. This server can be run by anybody and is not trusted (that's where the native HNS p2p networking comes in) https://twitter.com/MatthewZipkin/status/1516162201257746437
Discussion on an implementation for ENS resolve:

This is a reference implementation of the handshake device. https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd
Main commit to implement ENS https://github.com/brave/brave-core/commit/c24b31eeafdeee0c0b166f6add83f341f0cd2d3a

Open question I'm researching right now:
Is there a C++ reference implementation of the handshake protocol?

Project Name
Brave Browser - Handshake Integration
Resume + Code Samples:
Brief: 8.5 years at Google. The team I belonged to worked on the chrome browser for Xbox/PS4/Nintendo Switch. These platforms generated 10% of all YouTube's traffic.

Milestones
These are the milestones I would want to achieve in the span of one 3 months (1 quarter).
Testing
All the code used needs to have 100% code coverage, which will include unit and integration testing using the existing gunit testing frame work developed by google.
Language
Brave executable is built in C++, with tooling using python 2.7.
The integration will follow this pattern. The Brave browser implementation is expected to be written 100% in C++. Support tooling will be written in python.
Risks
I'm anticipating that nearly all of the business logic will be written once in the shared codebase portion. If per-platform modifications are required then the stake holders will be notified ASAP.
There's also the possibility that the reference implementation of the handshake protocol is missing some features that aren't apparent until the integration phase.
