A security and risk management leader working on digital trust and identity strategy and standards.

What work brings me joy?

• Solving technical challenges and architecting technical solutions.
• Learning and experimenting with technology. It's not enough to just read the specs.
• Hands on the keyboard work. Seeing what's on the wire. Knowing what's happening under the hood.
• Writing technical documentation, explainers, HOWTOs, etc.
• Mentoring, teaching, helping others.

What is my dream job?

At the risk of evoking some strong emotions for some, I've long expressed my dream job as "identity sidekick to Vittorio Bertocci." I remember a while back, shortly after he joined Auth0, he was advertising an "Identity Padawan" position, and I regret not throwing my hat into the ring for that. Those of you who know what I mean, will understand. I'd love an opportunity to spend some time working for a mentor in the IAM space.

"Principal Architect, Digital Trust and Identity"

Cribbing a line from Michael Jones' LinkedIn profile, which is itself likely cribbed from Kim Cameron's "The Laws of Identity", I want to help build the Internet's missing identity layer, to help with standards development and to mentor others. I want to work on applying current and emerging technologies in digital trust and identity to real-world problems. And I want to give back to the field that has been so good to me.
