About

This is the personal site of Kevin Riggle (e-mail, Twitter, LinkedIn).

I presently run Complex Systems Group, a boutique consulting firm which specializes in helping companies apply the principles of systems safety to software development and cybersecurity.  I also run the Critical Point channel and host the War Stories podcast on it.

Here is my résumé and my GitHub profile.

The question is not, “How do we stop people from breaking into our systems,” but, “How do we convince ourselves we have built safe systems out of sucky software?”

I worked for Lyft on the Privacy team from 2018-2020.  Before that, I worked for Stripe on the Security team from 2017-2018 and Akamai Technologies in Information Security from 2012-2016.

I attended MIT as an undergraduate majoring in Computer Science.

Most of the action on this site is happening on the blog lately, so drop by there and check it out.
