CSIRT primarily, currently doing large-scale detection engineering. I ❤️ ISO 8601
Spent a good amount of time in intelligence, ran operations for a vulnerability database, and worked a lot on some industry standards working groups CVSS (v2, v3), CPE (2.3). Did PSIRT a few places, too.
Do a lot with OpenBSD, Python, and Oxford commas. Worked as a manager for some world-class, global teams. Use that experience as a super power now that I’m back as a senior technical IC.

I was voter 34 today at one of my city’s 2 early voting locations.

I missed the window to get back to poll management for this cycle, but my wife and I had a really moving experience being up early and doing our civic duty.

She asked a ton of questions about the behind-the-scenes process and we both realized that I miss working at the polls. There’s really nothing like asking the first voter of the day to certify with you that the ballot boxes are empty & counting machines are at zero. Or posting the day’s tally on the door after closing up a long day of helping people navigate the process.

Our system isn’t perfect. It’s got systemic and disheartening flaws. But it’s also really, really cool.
