Howdy! 🤠 I do technology research at Auth0 with a focus on security and identity and develop apps to showcase the advantages or pitfalls of such technology. I also contribute to the development of our SDKs, documentation, and design systems, such as <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://github.com/auth0/cosmos'>Cosmos</a>. The majority of my engineering work revolves around AWS, React, and Node, but my research and content development involves a wide range of topics such as Golang, performance, and cryptography. Additionally, I am one of the core maintainers of this blog. Running a blog at scale with over 600,000 unique visitors per month is quite challenging! I was an Auth0 customer before I became an employee, and I've always loved how much easier it is to implement authentication with Auth0.
