Bio

I'm the Director of Quality Assurance and an engineer with the Rapid7 Metasploit team. Day-to-day I'm focused on building quality into both the commercial and open source products. I've been with Rapid7 for over three years and have performed penetration tests, security consulting and holistic security assessment across a wide range of verticals, including financial, government, and retail. I've also been heavily involved in the open source and security communities for about five years, and i'm now an advisor for the SOURCE Boston conference (check it out!). Before that, i was a developer and network administrator at Iowa State University. If you'd like to know more about what i'm working on, you can follow me on twitter or keep an eye on the blog.
