🎓 "If you follow your heart, dare to be different, and use all the colors in the crayon box who knows where you might end up?" - RuPaul I am thrilled to announce that I have graduated from DePauw University with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication! At the commencement ceremony, I had the honor of speaking in front of my class, faculty, staff, and families as the 2024 Walker Cup recipient. It was a privilege to stand before my fellow graduates to share memories and anecdotes about things I've learned from RuPaul Charles. This moment was not only a highlight of my academic journey but also a reminder that being unapologetically yourself opens ALL the RIGHT doors. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me along the way. Your encouragement and guidance have been invaluable. Stay tuned for my next steps! 😉 🥂 #Graduation #CommencementSpeaker #NewBeginnings #ClassOf2024

Mark your calendars SF peeps. The inaugural SnooSec meetup is live! I'm running a new security meetup that we're going to do a few times a year at Reddit, Inc.'s offices. First one is April 3rd from 5pm to 9pm at our new HQ in SF! Some friends have been nice enough to agree to come give some presentations for our first SnooSec. Thanks to Travis McPeak Dylan Ayrey Prima Virani and Ron Perris! Come hang after work for some casual hangs and great talks. We'll make sure you're fed and we've got a bartender as well. And it wouldn't be Reddit without a few other special things lined up that you'll have to find out about in person. Building security being what it is, you *must* register if you want to come. If you want to bring a +1 please register them as well so we can get you in the front door. I'm flying in for it, so I'll see you there! (If you miss this one, we'll be heading to NYC this summer for our next one) https://lnkd.in/gqPpZ4s8

I wrote an article about what the journey of SRE at Reddit has been like. The premise of the article wasn't how incredibly proud of my team I am, but it doesn't go without saying. I'm fortunate to work with some wonderful people, who are thankfully also very talented engineers. I'm impressed by them regularly and they make my job incredibly satisfying and rewarding. We've also managed to–with the help and support of many other teams–improve Reddit's reliability and availability, a lot. https://lnkd.in/g8Nis5iP
