mox⋅ie mar⋅lin⋅spike :

I've worked as a software engineer, hacker, sailor, captain, and shipwright.

I'm currently a fellow at the Institute For Disruptive Studies, run a cloud-based password cracking service, and am a co-founder of Whisper Systems.

I like computer security, particularly areas around secure protocols, cryptography, privacy, and anonymity. I have to admit that I'm more inspired by software engineers who become interested in computer security, rather than the other way around.

I like sailing, have a Master Mariner's license, and used to do yacht deliveries world-wide. I'm interested in sailing without engines, and draw great inspiration from the likes of Moitessier, as well as the entire 1969 Golden Globe crew.

I daydream about time spent picking blackberries on Vancouver Island, watching Haiti appear over the horizon on the deck of a derelict sailboat, or riding freight trains through warm summer nights across the midwest.
