Overview
Starting with low bit rate video and image compression technology engineering, I evolved through web application development, and server-side code integration code. Then I got into securing the systems, databases, and applications I wrote. These days I am working for a company in the legal drug business (Bristol-Myers Squibb) as an Information Security Manager, and still think (nearly 3 years on) it's a a lot better than unemployment.
