By day a mild-mannered build engineer, by night the leader of the Langsec Conspiracy (http://www.langsec.org), Meredith L. Patterson lives in Brussels, Belgium. She wrote and maintains the Hammer parser generator library (https://github.com/UpstandingHackers/hammer), and is currently working on Tongs, a "standard library" of reference implementations of protocol, file format, and message format parsers. When not traveling to far too many infosec conferences, she enjoys bicycling, cooking, and target shooting.
