Professionally, I’m a security consultant working one of those security companies. My background is in commercial infosec but many of my interests revolve around the privacy and anonymity/pseudonymity tools and I try to be useful in that community.

Security B-Sides Rochester

I’m one of the founders and organizer of a hacker con in Rochester, BSidesROC. The event is very hacker-esque with a focus on the attendees and the experience they have throughout the day. It happens in early spring every year.

Interlock Rochester

One of the projects I’ve been a part of that I’m really proud of is getting a hackerspace in Rochester and maintaining it long term. I’ve always wanted to have hacker community in the area and the hackerspace was a big step in that direction. There’s no point in giving the whole history, but it was a fun ride to get to where it is today.

Rochester 2600

Rochester 2600, is a group of hackers that meet up on the first Friday of the month to hang out, mess with things, or give presentations. Sometimes we just eat pizza and talk about things in the news. Others, we’ll present on some new interesting tool that we think would be cool.

 

TOOOL

The Open Organization Of Lockpickers is a project I contribute to. This is just a fun project to learn more about picking locks and teaching about it. I’ve been picking locks for a couple of years and I’m pretty comfortable with the basics but am by no means as good as some of the people in the group.
