With over 10 years of AppSec experience, she has worn many hats: penetration tester, consultant, code reviewer, and threat modeler! However, her favorite hat to wear has always been that of a teacher, and that’s why she founded Gold Hat Security in 2019.

Mark Seemann helps programmers make code easier to maintain. His professional interests include functional programming, object–oriented development, software architecture, as well as software development in general. Apart from writing books about Code That Fits in Your Head and Dependency Injection he has also created several Pluralsight courses, Clean Coders videos, and written numerous articles and blog posts about programming.

Originally poised to become a rock star or (failing that) graphic novelist (in the European tradition) he one day found himself with insufficient talent for either, a master’s degree in Economics, and a desire for working with computers. He has been doing the latter intermittently since 1995. When not working with software or spending time with his family, Mark enjoys reading, listening to and playing music, as well as preparing or consuming gourmet food and wine.

Mark is the founder of RendleLabs, which is really just him playing with .NET Core, Docker, Azure, microservices and so on and then teaching other people about it and helping them build clean, stable, scalable solutions. He's been getting paid to do what he loves for nearly 30 years now, and still worries that somebody's going to notice and make him stop.
