About me

Brion Mario

Technical Lead ยท Open Source ยท Full-stack

I'm a Fullstack Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable, high-performant, and secure software solutions. I'm deeply passionate about open source, identity & access management, and creating developer-friendly tools that make security accessible.

Currently, I contribute to projects like Asgardeo and WSO2 Identity Server, working at the intersection of security engineering and developer experience. When I'm not writing code, I share what I learn through writing, speaking at meetups, and publishing research.
