Meadow is a hardware security dark witch with a keen eye and open heart to how normal users take what we, the security nerds, provide them with.

Meadow also specialises in automation for the purpose of removing humans from the equation and is a firm believer in security serving normal users, not the other way around.

Nothing makes her happier than being able to help others, be it with her job, the information security community work or by means of random Twitter threads - maybe apart from banging her head to some dark metal.
