Nate Sanders, Senior Manager of Security Engineering & Operations, has spent over 20 years in Information Technology, with more than a decade dedicated to the wild and wonderful world of Information Security. Specializing in infrastructure security, application security, and vulnerability management, Nate’s professional focus is now on the leadership and development of people, but his mischievous streak ensures he’s always on the lookout for the next thing to break (for research, of course).
Known in the hacker world as "mauvehed," he has been gleefully causing trouble and dismantling tech since the late 1980s. Whether it was disassembling his sister’s electronics (without asking) or pressing every button on a keyboard to uncover hidden features, his knack for chaos has always been his secret weapon. These days, he directs that same energy into poking, prodding, and "testing" technology wherever he finds it.
A self-proclaimed shenanigator, lifelong Calvin & Hobbes enthusiast, and proudly neurodivergent (AuDHD) thinker, Nate brings a playful curiosity and unconventional perspective to every problem he encounters. You’ll find him pushing boundaries, sharing hard-won lessons, and proving that breaking things is just another way of learning how they work.
