Biography

Senior technical and strategic security advisor. Deep experience with both building and breaking software, which I use to be an empathetic and pragmatic security partner to high-risk, high-leverage engineering organizations. Primary focus on product, platform, and cloud security.

Speaker at Black Hat and DEFCON, TROOPERS, SecTor, AppSec Cali, BSides, and others. I try to talk and write about a collaborative, inclusive, and caring approach to security. Not just because I think it's nicer, but because I strongly believe it's the most effective way forward for all of us.
