    From notepad to Dreamweaver to Flash to the CMS, this failed web developer turned hacker back in the early 2000's. It wasn't until his own apps began getting hacked that he turned to application security and never looked back. A man of many hats, mostly white, he is currently a Security Advisor for Rapid7's Managed AppSec team. Before joining Rapid7, he was a freelance web application penetration tester and if you go back even further, you may have seen him in a Halo tournament or two.

    Panda joined a Linux User Group while working on a masters in sports medicine. From there, she jumped down the rabbit hole called information security and that led to ShellCon.io.
