Skills
Summary
I solve problems at the intersection of information security, identity management, infrastructure operations, and user experience. Connecting these domains is critical for high-performing organizations. I develop fast-paced, highly collaborative teams with a strong mission and intellectual curiosity while translating between senior technical staff and business leadership. I thrive managing hands-on deployment of complex technology at scale and am comfortable in environments from startups to large enterprises. I have a PhD in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My dissertation focused on the intersection of identity management, information security, and user experience and how social, technical, and policy domains influence and shape behavior.
