Paul has been interested in security from an early age when he realized that it was a lot more fun to hack games than play them (even when the hacking took far more effort). While he doesn't play many games anymore, he has found network and web application security to be just as fun and much more useful. Paul has been working with Django since 2008, and is now a core committer with a focus on improving the security of Django. He works at Nebula Inc. on the OpenStack project.
