Background: I cut my cyber teeth at the NSA, gaining important vulnerability research skills. I then shared my AppSec knowledge by teaching at various conferences and universities. I was a leader in successful malware, monitoring, and pentest startups.
Industry Passion: I manage a team in Microsoft, protecting products and customers by turning bug bounty reports into fixes for cloud services. I love the field and I’m thankful for the opportunities to make the world a little safer.
Personal Passion: Outside of work, you might find me doing all kinds of random and fun things with my family — traveling, swimming, biking, you name it.
Program Improvements: I bring an entrepreneurial spirit to build fun and inclusive teams that achieve outsized impacts.
