Explore the forest, build the bridges, illuminate the path

I build things and secure them — running security programs at national-security scale for systems trusted with 200M+ citizen identities across 80 countries. I write code, build pipelines, and get things certified. Then I explain to others at places like RSAC and BlackHat how it all happened.

My story starts with breaking my parents' brand-new, very expensive computer. After washing thousands of dishes, I still haven't paid them back.

I've played in bands, competed in sports at the national level, and partnered with painters to project digital art onto buildings. This is where the rest of it lives.
