You can call me Sam. I live in Portland, Oregon and spend a lot of time on the internet. I like web development, security research, and games. I did Drupal for a long time, but am trying my hand at security engineering now.

Drupal security testing for everyone

I've just published a new project for performing static application security testing (SAST) on Drupal sites, mortenson/psalm-plugin-drupal.

A CMS that runs in your browser tab
