Currently employed as a Security Engineer for AWS Cryptography.

Additionally, I work on open source software for the PHP community through Paragon Initiative Enterprises. A sample of open source security projects that are worth checking out include:

• CipherSweet: Searchable Encryption for PHP and Node.js
• Halite - a user-friendly PHP cryptography library powered by Libsodium
• Pharaoh - diff for executable PHP Archives
• Gossamer PKI (bringing secure updates to the PHP ecosystem)

I also publish blog posts about web development, application security, and other related topics. Some of my greatest hits:

• The 2018 Guide to Building Secure PHP Software (recommended by PHP: The Right Way)
• How to Safely Store Your Users' Passwords in 2016
• The difference between encryption and authentication, and why you want authenticated encryption
• Implementing a Login System in PHP, with a secure "Remember Me" feature
• Everything You Need to Know About Preventing Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in PHP
• The Easy and Definitive Guide to Preventing SQL Injection in PHP applications
• Choosing the Right Cryptography Library for your PHP Project: A Guide

My profile used to say:

My unrealistic goal is to be the first user with a gold badge in both Security and Encryption tags. (It's unrealistic simply because, odds are, others will beat me to it.)

...but that ended up happening on November 1, 2019.
