Will Springer is a software engineer at Aembit. I’m a former security engineer, now leveraging what I’ve learned to build security tools for others. I work on the edge components of the Aembit Workload IAM Platform. My passions include slightly-burnt, low-carb breakfast foods; semi-colons; and laterally-asymmetrical, feathered amphibians.
