Helping startups with security strategy, architecture, and implementation as a part-time executive.

Spent many years building a VC-backed startup in the security space.

• Built a few products, raised a few million dollars, and learned a lot along the way.
• Focused on Supply Chain Security, Data Security, and Low-Code AWS tooling.
• Hired a team of 6+ people, ran sales, marketing, and engineering.
• Code on GitHub: https://github.com/lunasec-io

Left to start my own company when we got into YC. Helped with a few projects:

• Helped build a "secrets management" platform for the organization
• Worked on the GCP-to-AWS migration
• Lead the effort to implement an eng-wide review ("RFC") process

I joined as an early member of the engineering team and worked across several different teams as Uber experienced hypergrowth.

• Built "secure by default" development tools for engineers
• Helped run the bug bounty program
• Created a security training program for engineers
• Wrote a security automation platform for the security team
• Built "uber.com" from the ground up (working directly under Travis Kalanick)

Joined as the 6th person and the 1st engineer working on the "Ground Control Station". Built the desktop app using C# and WPF, web UI with React and Node.js.

Worked my butt off, raised $ from VCs, and learned how billion dollar startups are built.
