About

I like breaking things to understand how they work, then making them harder to break. I currently do that on the Google Kubernetes Security team hardening GKE and OSS Kubernetes. I have a Masters in CS from USC, where I took enough operating systems and distributed systems classes to mass produce kernel panics across multiple nodes 😛

When I'm not staring at YAML, I'm getting strangled at jiujitsu 🥋, pedaling up hills that looked much smaller on the map 🚴, or losing sleep over sci-fi books 📚.

Here's my CV.
