Biography
I’m a forty-something woman who has worked in the software industry for many years. I currently work as a Software Development Engineer in Test (in other words I write code to accomplish or facilitate testing software) at a large software manufacturer in Redmond, Washington. Although I have been worked at the same company since 1995, I’ve worked on a wide variety of products and projects within that company. I currently work for a group focused on anti-malware (viruses, spyware, etc.).
I discovered a talent for being able to relate technical information in common terms and concepts while writing process documentation and that has become a passion. This has become one of my driving passions – to teach others. After writing a multitude of papers and teaching some in-house classes that I developed, I turned my talents to writing a book on software security testing, Testing Code Security.
I live with my husband and young son in the beautiful Puget Sound area of Washington state. We share our home with multitude cats, a talkative African Grey parrot and the supplies for my love affair with craft hobbies.
