Accomplishments

2006-01-14

In 2006, with the assistance of fellow members of the kaos.theory security research team, I developed and released an operating system known as Anonym.OS. Anonym.OS uniquely provided a private and anonymous computing environment that required no technical knowledge to operate. Following its release on-stage at the ShmooCon security conference, I was interviewed for a front page article on Wired.com, and Anonym.OS received over 100,000 downloads worldwide within 48 hours of its release.
