About
I enjoy creating (or reverse engineering) security, network and systems software and get a kick from the design, implementation and deployment of complex distributed systems.
I have recent experience launching and leading projects to completion across multiple organizations. I gain great satisfaction from creating an environment and culture where developers can collaborate, succeed and grow.
I am an accomplished researcher, programmer and leader, and I am versatile and adaptable. I am qualified in military planning, and have spent over three years in Antarctica. I am a strong communicator and regularly speak at conferences and workshops.
