S11 E25: Chris Wallis, Intruder

from Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders · host Noah Labhart - Startup Founder & CTO

Chris Wallis lives in London, and grew up on a farm in the UK. He was the kid running around the countryside climbing trees - until his parents bought a computer when he was 15. Past that point, he didn't leave the house much, learning to code and digging into ethical hacking. Outside of tech, he is into tennis, swimming, alpine skiing and surfing. He finds himself in phases with these sports, and rotates them often.In the past, Chris was an ethical hacker, and spent a long time busting into big name systems. Eventually, he moved into one of those companies - and he realized that the tooling out there to discover attack surface weaknesses were lagging. He decided to build a platform that got the job done.This is the creation story of Intruder.SponsorsVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.
