Growing up on the European demo and cracking scenes, I started assembly coding in junior high on Commodore and Atari home computers. Since 1996, I've enjoyed innovating at, and contributing to, a variety of tech start-ups and Fortune 100 companies, delivering projects as a coder, dev lead, tech manager, engineering director, technical product owner, Agile facilitator (Scrum and Kanban) and business owner.

I'm passionate about creating and delivering meaningful software while growing engineering teams in the process. I seek the middle path to ensure not just short-term, quick wins, but long-term victories that lead to real growth for all involved.

I'm a card-carrying member and supporter of the IEEE. I consider their professional Code of Ethics non-negotiable and act accordingly. I'm also a member and supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Linux Foundation. Supporter of the Wikimedia Foundation and The Innocence Project. Signatory to The Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship.

As part of my life-long quest to continuously learn, I'm currently on track to receive my certificate in Advanced Cybersecurity from Stanford Online by mid-2022.

I'm a producer and composer, too, having sculpted music for video games and other projects for as long as I've crafted code. I've performed live on the mainstage at DEF CON, the world's largest information security conference, and appeared on the DEF CON 27 official soundtrack. I'm a producer for nerdcore legend YTCracker. I studied music theory and performance at Musicians Institute. Proceeds from my music streams and sales go to the EFF. Software isn't just something I do for a paycheck - it permeates every aspect of my life.
