Security Engineer by day, maker by night, husband every day. I dabble in LEDs and 3D Printing when I have "free time". I work for #Mapbox but my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thought I would try my hand at #digitalart. Go easy on me 😉
This week is going to be surreal. On Friday, I will log off of from @mapbox.com for the last time.

I will absolutely miss all of the people that I have grown to call friends and colleagues over the past 3 years.

Soon I will start my new role at @readai.bsky.social and I'm super excited!

Ever wake up, finding yourself waxing for #nostalgia?

Take a look at #IMG_0001!

It's a look back at the magic of early #YouTube, a random assortment of pre-algorithm videos when all it took to post was a smartphone and a "Share to YouTube" button.

Getting to meet @thedarktangent.bsky.social in person was definitely a highlight of #DEFCON33!

Thank you for being nice enough to take a quick selfie with me!

If anyone happens to find this Keyport knife and flashlight combo, that also has an attached black paracord with a black DC32 bead, I would really love to get it back! If you turn it into the @keyport.me booth in the #DEFCON vendor area, there will be a #reward in store!

Hackers like Ryan Montgomery reveal how your keychain, full of keys, fobs, and remotes, is so easy to exploit. Keyport helps protect your EDC and carry smarter.

📚 Whenever I see useCallback, I wonder: why do we need it here? And a lot of the times, when I look deeper, I see that it actually doesn’t do anything. I think a lot of code-bases would be better of just not memoizing at all - and then let the compiler do it for you:

Why most memoization is downright useless...

I released a new tool for managing multiple MCPs for AI agents. It lets you centralize your MCPs in one place then configure a single SSE endpoint in your various Agents and MCP clients.
