      Software, containers,
      & security

    • I love making, understanding & explaining code

      My background and core competence is systems software engineering, but I love the whole process of building products. I've been in startups that have succeeded and others that have failed. I enjoy writing code, and understanding how other people will use it. I'm now the technology evangelist with container security specialists Aqua Security. I'm also co-chairing the KubeCon / CloudNativeCon 2018 events in Copenhagen, Shanghai and Seattle, and I recently co-authored a book on Kubernetes Security for O'Reilly, with Michael Hausenblas.

      Away from my desk

      When I'm not working you'll quite likely find me on a bike (in real life or racing on Zwift), at a gig, eating & drinking with friends, doing yoga or drumming. I'm a mediocre drummer at best, but it's fun!

    • Skills

      Where I get over my British reserve and admit that I'm pretty good at these

      Software engineering

      I spent the first, well, many years of my professional life writing and architecting portable network stack implementations. I love and understand how to make clean, well-architected code.

      Live coding on stage

      Apparently this is a special skill. This talk, where I explain what a container is in a few lines of go, has been well-received, or you might want to watch me build a debugger from scratch.

      Containers, Kubernetes and security

      I've been working with containers for several years. I'm a fan of Kubernetes and, since joining Aqua, I've learned a thing or two about the security aspects of using containers and distributed systems.

      Go & Python

      And C, if I really have to. Go is really my language of choice these days. Some things are on my GitHub profile (and ask me about the projects that aren't open source).

      Writing

      As well as my own Medium posts and the Aqua Security blog, I've written for numerous sites and magazines. I'm also an O'Reilly author - check out Kubernetes Security (co-authored with Michael Hausenblas), or my guide to Containerizing your Go Code.

      Speaking

      I've been honoured to speak at tech conferences around the world. My black belt talk on container namespaces won me a speaker award at DockerCon, and my dotGo talk on debuggers was the second most highly rated talk at dotConferences in 2017.
