I am a developer and security researcher focused on building and promoting ethical technology for electronic freedom, privacy, and security. I am currently employed as a software developer.

I have extensive programming and information security experience. I have written web, desktop, and mobile software.

I am most experienced in Python, C#, JavaScript, and Go, with additional experience in C++ and Java. I also have experience with cloud technologies (AWS and GCP).

View my blog about privacy research or my old blog mostly about exploit research and programming.
