Welcome

Homepages have evolved a bit in the many years that I've had one. I like to think of this version as the distributed presence iteration.

I love regexes, b&w photography, and chocolate chip cookies. Currently CISO at Abett in Seattle, though most of my days are hands-on cloud security engineering across AWS and Azure — building security automation, reviewing code, and running incident response. I'm also an attorney, which turns out to be a useful thing to be in this field. Former SDET @ amzn. Wellesley alum, Google alum, USCG wife, perl hacker, nerd.

Find me on LinkedIn and GitHub, or see a list of public speaking I've done.

Things I've built

A couple of small things that run in production on AWS, both defined as infrastructure-as-code:

• csa-wrangler — a serverless, event-driven meal planner for CSA shares. Forward the weekly share email and SES, S3, Lambda and DynamoDB turn it into a dinner plan and a grocery list. Errors go to a dead-letter queue and raise a CloudWatch alarm rather than failing quietly.
• calendar-digest — a scheduled Lambda that emails me a 7-day view of my calendar every morning at 5am, with WSDOT highway alerts flagged against events whose locations sit on an affected route.
• comms-training — a digital security workshop and nine handouts I wrote and have taught from, on passwords, 2FA, secure messaging, backups and travelling safely. MIT licensed, take them.

I occasionally update my blog and my sewing blog, West 38th. Some of my security how-tos and other writing are on Medium.

Elsewhere

I keep pictures on Flickr as wck and Instagram

I read a lot. My current reading eventually gets imported into goodreads
