What were you up to before joining Kipsu? 

Before Kipsu I worked as a full stack software engineer at Advanced Wireless Communications. I worked on a radio alerts managing service, primarily used in long term care facilities, hospitals, and large retail outlets.

What are some things you enjoy doing outside of work? 

When the weather is nice you can find me biking, hiking, or just walking around the lakes. When it's not I enjoy working on my own tech projects, watching movies, and playing fifa.

What drew you to Kipsu in contrast to other companies? 

I like Kipsu's size, community, and location. The office is quite nice and the people are delightful.

What were some things you noticed about the Kipsu team during your first week?

My team is composed of some very smart people. I can tell that they're passionate about what they do.

What challenges are you looking forward to tackling in your work at Kipsu?

Securing the keys to the kingdom is a never ending battle. I look forward to enhancing our already strong security practices.

What is your favorite Kipsu core value and why?

Play the long game. Proper forward thinking has the potential to elevate any company over its peers, and investing in cybersecurity before incidents arise is proof that Kipsu is playing the long game.

If you could pick any person for a chat over a shared dinner, who would you pick and why?

Alan Turing, just to pick his brain. I'd like to know his thoughts on modern computing.
