Wade Woolwine’s Summary

My career in information systems has offered a wide variety of opportunities which have all contributed to my knowledge in Technical Security Engineering. My early years were focused on building web applications. As a graphic designer and HTML programmer I learned about the client portion of the web equation. Later, as a ASP and PHP developer, I learned about the web server, active scripting languages, and databases. My personal consulting business offered me the opportunity to delve into Networks, Operating Systems, and Hardware. Thanks to corporate training programs with past employers, I've been able to pursue my goal of becoming an independent security researcher specializing in identification, remediation, and prevention of vulnerabilities in web based technologies. As of recently, I've been getting back into the web development world building several web based applications leveraging public APIs and web services.
