If you’re going home for the holidays this year, get out of your bubble and ask your family members what AI has done for them recently. If you’re like me, you’ll get an earful about how it’s made literally everything worse.

Finally, I’m a strong proponent of building up newcomers to our industry. If you’re just starting out, and need career help, resume review, presentation feedback, etc. I’ll happily help you. Just DM me. (6/6).

I don’t necessarily subscribe to the “everyone in tech wants to retire to run a farm” theory, but I wouldn’t be opposed to running a coffee shop on a beach in a few years and never thinking about how IAM or service control policies work again. In the meantime my escape is traveling. (5/6)

I’m an entrepreneur at heart, but with a limited attention span. I buy domains first and ask questions later. Which is why I have 2 dozen of them. I like building things. Marketing them less so, but I do like posting about random stuff I’m building. (4/6)

I’m a CSP critic. I think CSPs are squarely responsible for the dreadful state of cloud security. I gave a talk at the first fwd:cloudsec about this (“The Shared Responsibility Model is Broken”) and I think it’s only gotten marginally better in the years since. Sometimes I blog about this too. (3/6)

Previously I was the co-founder of CloudSploit, which was a bootstrapped, open core, early generation “CSPM” (before the term really existed). We were acquired in 2019 (I’ll happily chat over coffee to share my experience with that) (2/6)

Guess I should introduce myself here, starting over from _the other site_ 🙂

About me: First and foremost, I’m a husband and dad (just welcomed the most incredible baby girl to our family) living in NYC. By day I’m an EM at Stripe leading our Cloud Security team. (1/6)
