I am a hands-on security professional who embraces healthy cultures of collaboration, automation, and tactical optimism in pursuit of fashioning safe and useful products. A tenured remote collaborator, open-source enthusiast, and builder at heart with experience managing and mentoring teams.
I live in the midwestern portion of the United States with my wife and two daughters.
I can be found on Linkedin
I have contributed odds and ends to several open-source projects over the years: Diamond, Logster, Semgrep, Kubetools, mwclient, k0s, Mozilla AskNot, etc
I have made significant contributions to numerous open-source projects in service of the Wikimedia Foundation and the free-knowledge movement across security, infrastructure, and reporting.
The Wikimedia Foundation does not use Github as their authoritative respository source.
As of 2024, they use Gerrit and Phabricator's Diffusion.
I have been affiliated with:
- The CNCF Technical Advisory Group
-
- Including Co-Author for the CNCF Security Whitepaper 1.0 and collaborator for the audiobook version
