Mike “The Janitor” Thompson lives in a mushroom bin and not in a box. The Janitor by day, is the Director of Architecture and Engineering for ADC, Cloud (e.g. cumulus, stratus, cirrus, nimbus) and Security for A10 Networks and by night an animal who spits out fire-breathing code for whatever. He worked as a Pen Tester and has provided security-consulting services for many global corporations. The Janitor was part of A10's technical team, which assisted Microsoft as part of the Citadel and Zero Access botnet takedown, is the lead OpenStack Developer and part of the SERT for A10. His favorite pass-times besides being alive are hanging with the fam, building robots and playing with his car. His message to the world "Kiddies ->welfare sucks, grow a brain and learn to code." and "value is like beauty it is solely in the eye of the beholder…put the mirror down when I am talking to you!
