My name Nick Liffen. I live in Reading, England. I am an architect at GitHub. Passion for Developer Experience (DevX) and DevOps. Outside of being infront of a laptop I am an avid golfer, reader and blogger.

Open Source Software Products 👀

Below lists a few of the open source projects I have been involved in. A lot of these sparked whilst working in the advanced security team at GitHub:

1. Cloud Formation Linter - GitHub Action
2. A utility that automates the bulk enablement of CodeQL
3. A utility that automatically revokes certain secrets in GitHub
4. A utility that drops code scanning alerts into Slack
5. A utility that calculates MTTR in Code Scanning
6. A utility that helps clean up possible unused GHAS licences
