About

I’m a hacker turned founder.

I like taking things apart. For a long time that meant breaking software for a living: red-teaming and vulnerability research at Apple, and then a stretch on my own where I went looking for bugs in whatever I found interesting, from kernel drivers to inference engines to virtual switches. Some of those turned into CVEs.
