During my career, I have contributed to many open source projects. The two projects I am most proud of are the Mirebalais hospital by leveraging OpenMRS. A hackathon where we built a small app to help fight Ebola and helping improve They Vote For You.
On top of that, I have contributed to many open source tools, including Brakeman, find-sec-bugs and Zaproxy.
I love public speaking and have been speaking in different conferences over the years, including DEFCON, PyCon, DevSecCon, AgileAustralia and many meetups.
I have a blog to talk about some of the research I do in my free time. Part of this research was to find 2 High CVEs in two java libraries - CVE-2018-1000850 and CVE-2018-1000632.
I would like to focus more time on making easier to build software, leveraging encryption and safe defaults.
