Stephen Rees-Carter

Hi, I’m a senior developer, security analyst and international speaker from Brisbane, Australia. I specialise in PHP and Laravel development, as well as cyber security. My current position at Defiant / Wordfence involves securing WordPress sites, which offers a unique set challenges. I love diving into complex code challenges and finding new and creative ways to break applications. I’ve worked on small and large products, both as a developer and as a Technical Lead with strategic direction and planning, including designing and building the powerful multi-record assignments core of a large SaaS application.
