Overview

I've spent 26 years on application security - first at Banco do Brasil, now at Orbit Commerce. Built the experimentation framework 8 product teams use to ship changes safely. Before that: Santander and Google. Most at home with Burp Suite and AppSec. I volunteer with a food bank on weekends.
