My professional background is in computer security and I've got some graduate school experience with compiler-based hardening (specifically with the FreeBSD kernel, though). I've submitted a few patches to fix syzbot-identified bugs in the past few weeks and really enjoyed the process, which brought me to this group. I'm looking forward to jumping into one of the "good first issue" entries in the public issue tracker (maybe #370). Ian
