NickLiffen/README.md

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

Blog Posts ✏️ 📕

As mentioned above I love to blog, mostly around developer experience and DevSecOps. Below you can check out a few of my more recent posts:

  1. Why Advanced Security?
  2. The Importance of Developer Experience - Developer roles are evolving!
  3. Coordinating a multi-lambda software product
