I am currently working at Bugcrowd as the Researcher Experience Manager.
Web development
I enjoy building static websites, single page- and universal web applications — focusing on user experience, performance, and security.
I've been responsible for building numerous MVP applications using REST API following the CRUD cycle. These were all build with Ruby on Rails.
Using Bash, Rake, and Node.js I've built automation, bots, and serverless functions.
Figma is my tool of choice for almost all of my design work. Designing a website however, takes place directly in the browser. I've been doing that for a while and with the arrival of TailwindCSS it's gotten even better.
For the last several years, I've been building a lot with Shopify and the Jamstack. Both are a joy to work with, straightforward, without many abstractions.
The "J" in Jamstack has been represented by Vue.js and the framework Nuxt.js, and more recently Eleventy, which you're looking at right now. For the latter I use Alpine.js to sprinkle in behavior as I see fit.
What helped my progress tremendously is all of the amazing web security content, creators put out. Being involved in the bug bounty and the Twitch community really emphasized to me that knowledge is meant to be shared.
I also became involved in several inclusive communities. This led to me being asked by NahamSec to help build his community, Hacker101, and administrate numerous online conferences.
