I’m an engineer who helps messages get delivered reliably and securely. I spend a lot of time:
- ➜ extolling the many virtues of DKIM, SPF, and DMARC
- ➜ researching weird edge cases in DNS and mail headers
- ➜ mitigating abuse without blocking legitimate messages
- ➜ translating CTIA guidelines into human-friendly workflows
- ➜ getting misconfigured domains to turn their lives around
- ➜ informing product decisions that keep emails out of the spam folder
- ➜ explaining why it wasn’t our fault but fixing it anyway
Have a complex issue, a meaningful project, or a new role to discuss? Want to talk books or gossip about my two favorite coworkers?
