TL,DR: Stockholm syndrome with OpenSSL.
I have been working with OpenSSL code since late 2004. Working on implementing national cryptography for OpenSSL, I got familiar with many parts of the library.
Since 2020 I apply my knowledge of OpenSSL for Red Hat, currently I'm most busy with post-quantum transition of Red Hat and OpenSSL
Currently work at Red Hat Product Security (PSIRT, tooling) - in the recent past have worked in a variety of domains at the intersection of data, network and security - wandered aimlessly down deep, dark rabbit holes of computing exotica. I am a 'forever' student learning from those who are more clever then me. Over the decades have contributed to a few open source projects and currently helping out https://curl.se.
