I'm Victoria Drake.

Here’s what I do.

Leadership

I eagerly lead tech teams to deliver great software with a focus on security and maintainability. With my background as a principal software engineer, I’m able to find improvements in every area of building excellent software, from process to production.

Software and Security

I serve as a core maintainer and co-author of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Web Security Testing Guide.

In my free time, I love building software and giving it away. You can find out more about my open-source work at github.com/victoriadrake.

The Next Generation

I’m on a mission to help prepare millions of new engineers to take on the next era of technology.

I earned the annual Top Contributor award from freeCodeCamp for three consecutive years. I was also recognized two years in a row as a Distinguished Author on the DEV.to developer platform. And I’ve written for multiple business and software engineering publications across the web as well as here on my blog.
