Overview

I've spent 11 years on application security - first at Amazon, now at Gather Ops. Cut p99 latency on the product security services from 861ms to 48ms. Reduced cloud spend on product security by 26% in two quarters. Most at home with cloud security and Burp Suite. Big believer in written communication.
