A big part of my career was building and leading the world's best DDoS detection and mitigation team for almost a decade. I have 20+ years of security and systems engineering experience, and a scalable and acute understanding of both tactical and strategic operational challenges. I enjoy finding, developing, mentoring, and leading teams of exceptional engineering talent to tackle the toughest and fastest-paced issues facing the various facets of the technology industry today. My most recent focus has been finding seamless and creatively scalable solutions to the operational development lifecycle, while still maintaining a fluid balance with the various product business objectives. Bringing the fast-paced, start-up creative thinking development methodology to larger organizations, while still maintaining customer service, budget, and deliverability timeline, is a fun and dynamic challenge.
