I am a veteran software engineer and security professional with over a decade of experience, including the operation and management of critical security response programs for large enterprise organizations and open source communities. I have worked on many different software stacks, from low level system libraries, to web servers, to complicated cloud platforms, I have become familiar with a multitude of programming languages, and strategies for delivering products to market. I don’t prescribe to a single development doctrine, instead I focus on selecting the best tool for the job, and continuously seek ways to write resilient, faster, and more secure software.

My strategy for influencing change within an organization is typically driven by automation that detects, measures, and monitors improvement initiatives over time. I focus on projects with integration points that provide early feedback and reduce the cognitive disconnect for developers to correct problems.The core values that I strive for in my work are simplicity, clarity of purpose, intuitiveness of use and frugality.
