Derek Zimmer Email & Phone Number | I have extensive experience in open-source project management, and system, network and application security. In 2011, I began study of cryptographic systems and how they are both built and compromised. Over the last eleven years, I have honed my skills through multiple projects and businesses. In 2012 my partners and I formed VikingVPN. I was the senior network administrator and controlled the network topology and security of all company systems. We had a tightly controlled security and privacy policy that gave us unique challenges on a day-to-day basis. I managed VPN controls, certificates, protocols, firewalls, networks, user accounts, and proprietary privacy systems including kill-switches and intrusion detection systems. I was also the primary contributor to the VikingVPN Security Blog, and was a secondary contributor to the Politics Blog. In 2016 I created the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit org that raises money for critical open-source security projects that are utilized by people around the world. Now is the most important time in our history to be devoting resources to open-source security projects that everyone in the world can trust. In 2018, I joined the team at London Trust Media to take on some interesting projects in strategy, marketing, and project management. I was quickly promoted to the Chief Privacy Officer for Private Internet Access. While working at PIA I wrote over 40 articles for the PIA blog, and conducted multiple research projects to improve our products and the user experience. In 2019, I created the Application Research Lab. It is a business for private security review of applications, using teams of highly qualified experts from around the world. My goal is to help develop systems that will make the world a safer place for all.
