Greetings 👋

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
• The DevOpsDays movement in DevOpsDays Kansas City as an organizer
• OWASP as a member
• ISACA as a member
