# Mackenzie
Developer advocate breaking down code security and emerging AI threats

## About

Mackenzie focuses on DevOps and code security. After co-founding and leading engineering at a health tech startup, he saw exactly what it takes to build secure applications from the ground up.

Now a developer advocate at GitGuardian, he collaborates with research teams to expose how attackers discover and exploit vulnerabilities. He zeroes in on practical defense strategies for builders, breaking down live exploits of dependency hallucinations, prompt injection, and data poisoning.
