Hello, I’m Roland Bracewell Shoemaker. Previously I worked at Internet Security Research Group developing Boulder, the software that runs Let’s Encrypt, from scratch. It now powers what is arguably the largest public Certificate Authority. I currently work at Google on the Go Security team.

You can find me on Twitter and GitHub.
