My name is Josh Carroll and I am a Husband, Father, and Web Hacker.

I am an independent consultant with over 15 years of experience and count myself incredibly blessed to be able to help build an amazing consulting practice. I have a beautiful wife, and 5 amazing little kids. We make our home nestled away in Knoxville, Tennessee among the amazing Smoky Mountains.

I've been hacking on computers since I was about 8 years old. It's no wonder I love the web so much since my first "programming" experience was teaching myself HTML and pushing a website out to some academic server. All I can remember is how fascinated I was with being able to access my own site... ON THE INTERNET!!!

I went on to do some real programming in high school, and eventually got to compete in a robotics competition my senior year. Becoming a programmer was all I wanted to do, and I went after it full speed ahead. I graduated from ETSU in 2005 and have been doing what I love ever since.

I have been involved in application security for the past 20+ years, but I still considers myself a developer first and an AppSec engineer second. During most of those past 20 years, I have specialized in applied cryptography and web AppSec. Before transitioning to AppSec, I spent 17 years at (now Nokia, then AT&T) Bell Labs doing mostly systems programming. I left Bell Labs as a DMTS in 1996 to become an independent consultant in C++ and Java.

I became involved in the OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) project in early fall of 2009, and after redesigning and rewriting all the symmetric cryptography related classes, I somehow found myself "elected" as co-project lead of ESAPI in 2011. I also spent from 2000-2007 as an adjunct faculty member on the Franklin University CS staff where I taught Distributed Operating Systems and Computer Security. After an 8 year stint working on the Wells Fargo Secure Code Review team, I presently am working on the Application Security team at Verisign as a Senior AppSec Engineer.

When I am not around code, I wax eloquently on 3-4 page TL;DR discourses that I post on various mailing lists or I hang out with other dinosaur friends at local watering holes discussing AppSec, coding, sports, puns, and quantum physics.
