I have worked as a developer for Red Hat since 2004. Currently I work on Satellite 6 and spend most of my time in either Java, Python, or Ruby. My technical interests include computer security, cryptography, and web technologies. My projects and various experiments are on GitHub.

My other interests are video games, board games, and history.
