Background

I work for BitSight Technologies as Sr. Director of Technology.   

I teach at Northeastern University  College of Computer Science  in the Graduate program in Information Assurance.  I am the coach/advisor to Northeastern Cyber Defense Team which competes yearly in the National Cyber Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition.

Education/Teaching

I am passionate about engineering and education.  I have been lucky enough to get a number of exceptional CS teachers who went above and beyond to foster my love of computers.  My hope is I can continue my journey of learning while helping others on theirs.

Projects

For information on what I'm trying to explore/break this month check out blog posts (coming soon)  or tweets.
