I have been working with Ruby for almost 15 years, and it has been my primary love for the majority of that time. I have built, tuned, scaled, and secured hundreds of Ruby applications, both Rails and otherwise. I have a deep understanding of the language, have taught numerous classes and workshops, and have created dozens of gems and libraries over the years.

I started building my first CMDB and automation scripts by hand in the mid-90's, and have lead architecture, development, testing, and validation of global and specially regulated infrastructures ever since. From low-level kernel tuning, to network design and optimization, to security design and compliance automation, I have managed everything from a single server to infrastructures with tens of thousands of nodes, and even a little "serverless" these days.

I have spent more than 10 years specifically focusing on many security-related aspects of technology, and held certifications ranging from Security+ to CISSP. My primary area of focus at the moment is web application security, including secure coding, automated security testing pipelines, secure infrastructure design, performing vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing.

Phil is extremely knowledgable about CDNs, responsive image & content management, and different ways to design services to manage image delivery. We had an extremely productive and insightful conversation and he helped me wrap my head around some interesting new concepts and services that I can leverage for my project.
