Kia Ora!

I’m Nick, and I work in information security, most often in application security roles. I help teams understand and adopt pragmatic security practices at the right time in the software development lifecycle, so that security is built in from the beginning. I work with teams of all sizes; from government departments and large banks, through to startups and small businesses.

My current role is an Application Security Engineer at GitLab. Before that I was a security consultant at Aura Information Security and SafeStack and, before that, CTO at ThisData, a security API which protected millions of people across the globe from account takeover attacks.

Things that push my buttons include: security, tech ethics, building stuff with Ruby on Rails, writing, and presenting at meetups and conferences.

I like to spend time with my wife and two boys, sing, play guitar, go to church, run, and work on side projects.
