Hey, I'm Derek.

My Passions
I love using technology to not only make our lives easier but to improve the lives of everyone. With that being said, I love to problem solve, learn, and tinker by doing various DIY projects in my home, my lab, or with others. I specifically like to do home automation and have my house rigged up with lots of tech and automation!

What I Do

I'm currently employed at Rapid7 as a Senior Software Engineer. I help support Rapid7 products through DevOps tooling and cloud operations. I'm experienced in various levels of troubleshooting and debugging technologies including SSL certificates, load balancers, firewalls, etc.
