Hi lovely human! happy to meet you 🤗 I'm strongly passionate about open source software since an early age, and enjoy mentoring, and empowering others in the community. I'm a Director of Developer Advocacy at Snyk & Node.js Foundation Ecosystem Security Working Group 🥑 Node.js has been a love at first sight for me since 2014 when I joined to lead development on the MEAN.js framework (https://github.com/meanjs/mean). A big passion of mine is creating Node.js command line applications, and actively advocating for web security through my work at Snyk, OWASP and the Node.js Foundation. 🚤 Creator of Gigsboat (https://github.com/gigsboat/cli) ✍️ Author of Essential Node.js Security (http://bit.ly/securenodejs) ✍️ Author of O'Reilly Serverless Security (http://bit.ly/serverless-clad) 🔥 Author of Node.js CLI Best Practices (http://bit.ly/nodejs-cli) 🦸♂️ Ambassador at foundations such as OpenSSF, Node.js Foundation's Ecosystem Security working group 🥑 DevRel at Snyk.io
