Worked with UnifyID to build an OAuth2 server from the ground up that integrates with their unique, "implicit auth" service (more on that here: https://blog.unify.id/2016/09/12/unifyid-technical-overview)

I joined Tilt to work on API and backend business logic. Being a startup, things move fast, you do a lot of experimentation, and you have to be comfortable navigating ambiguity. You also wear a lot of hats. I primarily worked in Perl, using the Dancer framework to build REST architecture backed by PostgreSQL.As part of the Payments team, I was responsible.

PKWARE acquired my security startup, CompletelyPrivateFiles, LLC, and I became a part of their cloud security team. We worked to release an encrypted file sync tool for Dropbox named Viivo that was formed from SecretSync, the flagship product of CompletelyPrivateFiles. I developed on multiple platforms, including Windows, OSX, and Linux, in multiple.

Soon after my initial excitement about the cloud, I became uncomfortable putting my personal and proprietary information in it. So I began looking at ways to enable user-controlled encryption for the cloud, and CompletelyPrivateFiles, LLC was born. I began by integrating third-party, AES-256 encryption with Box.com via their web APIs. I then developed some.

I always wore two hats here, systems administration and software development. System administration: Windows platform servers. Managed Microsoft Exchange, web servers (IIS/SharePoint), SQL DBA, Active Directory. Also assisted in network infrastructure, content-filtering, and firewall administration.Software development: Developed and customized SharePoint.

Started here as an Operator while still in college. Worked the night shift running batch jobs on VAX/VMS, Unix variants, and Windows servers. Transitioned to Technology Analyst and managed the Intranet and Exchange servers for a 5,000 employee company.
