Developer and Security Specialist with over 18+ years experience. PHP community leader, application security pro, speaker, author and open source contributor
I'm a developer at heart and passionate about building useful, robust web applications and application security. My primary focus is on PHP, but the application security concepts I've learned apply to any language. I'm a veteran of the web with over 12 years of experience working in multiple types of industries. I contribute back to open source projects and have created several of my own, all placed out in the public domain (MIT licensed).

I've been doing PHP and web application development for over 16 years and focusing on web application security for the past 6-7 years. In addition I've presented several training sessions and have spoken about various more general application security topics outside of just PHP. I'm involved with several PHP security initiatives and with the wider OWASP group as well.
