I help other people build amazing things, often related to security.

I've been: director of security intelligence, a sailing club commodore, a #startup engineering manager, a stage actor, a fight choreographer, a #renfest character, a web #developer, a programming #instructor, a pc assembly tech, a foundation board member, a #standards co-author, a #political party secretary, an owner-dog lookalike contest winner, and a fool – more than once.

My own interests include #ProgrammingLanguages, #FunctionalProgramming, #InfoSec, #education, #making, #woodwork, #electronics, #sailing, #FolkMusic, #justice, #dei, #antiracism, #photography, and my awesome family.

I was born in #Brasil and have lived in #Minnesota and #Massachusetts, but #Florida is home. I'm an unrepentant #ParrotHead.

My ancestors hail from Africa, Brasil, Italy, and Eastern Europe – I'm #multiracial.
