"The network is the computer" is a phrase that has resonated with me since I first read it.What does it mean to you?My interests lie at the intersection of product development (hardware + software), computer networking + protocols, security (cyber + human elements), and the shrinking world in which we are all connected.I'm an experienced developer of system software + firmware, builder of software teams, and mentor to junior developers.In addition to that I also enjoy working with startups and small companies to solve interesting problems, learning about new markets, and applied technologies relevant to their business ventures.
