I’m a hacker by trade who also loves building things. I excel at replicating myself via automation and thrive in environments where there is a passion for automating your way out of the problem. I seek to provide technical influence first, but always love to “get my hands dirty” and deep dive into the technology. After establishing my foundation as a security consultant in threat modeling and web app pentesting, I built a deep skillset in cloud security, CI/CD, and security automation. I have a passion for tech evangelization and love sharing ideas with fellow nerds. I feel deeply satisfied with my work when developers tell us that our automation made their lives easier, when others in security tell us that our work improved their relationship with engineering, when we can observe measurable change and maturity within an organization, and when we can demonstrate that we have eliminated entire categories of security risks.
