Using Actions to Customize Your MFA Factors

I've been working as a software engineer since 2014, particularly as a backend engineer and doing system design. I consider myself a language-agnostic developer but if I had to choose, I like to work with Ruby, Python, and Elixir.  

After realizing how fun it was to create content and share experiences with the developer community I made the switch to Developer Advocacy. I like to learn and work with new technologies. 

When I'm not coding or creating content you could probably find me going on a bike ride, hiking, or just hanging out with my dog, Dasha.

Abbie Carlson

As a Product Marketing Manager, I'm responsible for communicating the value of Identity for consumer apps as well as focusing on the developer experience. I'm forever curious about how Identity plays a role in our everyday lives as consumers and how a great Customer Identity solution can make or break a business through patron loyalty and retention. 

Outside of work can catch me watching Seattle sports, going to as many concerts as I can or listening to true crime podcasts.

Auth0 by Okta: Teams

michael-swanson

I live in Austin, TX with my wife, Anneke, and our two kiddos, Ilya (5) and Everett (2). I am a native Texan but lived in multiple places across the southern US as a kid. I have family in Houston TX and Midland TX that we visit on a regular basis. Prior to joining Okta, I worked with early stage startups as a hands-on Product Manager, team lead, and product designer, while also writing (mostly frontend) code. 
<br>

When I am not working you can usually find me chasing my kids around, reading sci-fi or fantasy novels, or playing needlessly complex strategy board games with friends. I am also a huge Star Wars fan and am always down to talk about the latest Star Wars movies, TV, and/or books. Additionally, Anneke and I love to travel and have been all over the world together. Much of our travel focuses on getting out of the Texas heat, tasting and learning about wine, and sampling the amazing food we find along the way!

WebAuthn - A Short Introduction

Viktor Petersson

Viktor, a seasoned entrepreneur, initiated his journey in the business world during his college years. His first venture, YippieMove, emerged as a pioneering email migration service, setting the stage for his future successes. Demonstrating a keen sense for uncharted territories, Viktor then co-created Blotter, a productivity app for macOS that not only was bootstrapped but also climbed to the top 10 in the Mac App Store before its discontinuation. <br>

Prior to the widespread adoption of remote work spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, Viktor had already recognized the transformative potential of a decentralized workforce. He leveraged this insight to lead his early ventures, particularly Blotter, towards prosperity as bootstrapped operations, embracing remote-only models long before they became a global norm. <br>

Following these successes, Viktor co-founded Screenly, where he currently leads as a visionary. Screenly, also a bootstrapped venture, was created with the ambition of developing the world’s first developer-friendly digital signage product. Under Viktor’s stewardship, the company has introduced revolutionary products like Anthias, the top-ranked open source digital signage solution, and Screenly’s flagship offering, which now powers over 10,000 screens globally. Viktor’s innovative mindset and relentless entrepreneurial spirit continue to propel the digital signage industry into the future.
