I’ve have been working in infosec for about 18 years as a software engineer. Often working alongside threat researchers. Building things including analyst tooling, automated threat detection, large scale data analytics and infrastructure. Love solving tricky problems and the variety of challenges infosec brings.

Outside of work I enjoy family time, books, photography, travel, and food among other things. Glad to join this away from the noise of the birdsite.
