Hey there!
My name is Jonathan “jcran” Cran, I’m the VP of Operations at Bugcrowd.
I’ve been with Bugcrowd since 2013, and have worked in a lot of aspects of the business. I’m responsible for ensuring the growth of the customer and researcher success functions, as well as the analyst and support services. I’ve been lucky enough to work with many of you through the disclosure or support processes over the last few years and am constantly striving to create the best experience possible. My number one priority is to align both organizations and researchers toward a common goal - better functional security.
My background is security assessment, and I’ve been active in the security community for many years through various organizations and groups - Rapid7, Metasploit, and Pwnie Express - SOURCE, Masshackers, AHA!, etc.
I’m always interested in new attack techniques and ideas and i’m really looking forward to being able to share some of my own learning on this forum. If you’re interested to chat, please feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi Everyone!
Sorry to be late to the intro party. I’m Kymberlee, or @kym_possible on twitter. If LinkedIn is more your thing, you can connect with me there too.
I am the Senior Director of Researcher Operations at Bugcrowd, and manage a team that runs quality and engagement programs for the Crowd. If it has to do with security researchers it is on my team. Our goals are to help researchers be more efficient and profitable, which not only means fostering tradecraft development to find the most critical bugs as quickly as possible, but also skills like writing up great vulnerability submissions that customers can quickly understand and take action. We help the Crowd to help Bugcrowd customers to identify critical vulnerabilities in their applications and networks.
Before joining Bugcrowd I had the opportunity to do a lot of other cool infosec things too, like 4 years of Security Incident Response at BlackBerry where I investigated webkit and open source vulnerabilities in smartphone and tablet products. I got started in information security in 2003 at Microsoft, when I founded the first security researcher outreach team in the industry. I’ve investigated botnets malware and APT’s, done a ton of data analysis on vulnerability time to fix and [third party libraries][4], and even [helped design the anti-clickjacking feature in IE8][5].
I am super excited to be part of the team at Bugcrowd since November 2014, the people I get to work with every day are amazing. So is the Crowd. We have a ton of great stuff planned for y’all, can’t wait to show you.

Thank you for having me here.
Hey all, I’m @caseyjohnellis, CEO and co-founder of Bugcrowd.
@codesoda and I are the two nutters who, back in 2012 when bug bounties where strictly the domain of big tech and security geeks, decided a crowdsourced model solved a much broader problem for both sides of security market. We decided to form Bugcrowd to make that happen.
My tl;dr is that I did 6 weeks of university, dropped out and took an IT internship, started hacking stuff, and haven’t looked back since… except that what I’m hacking has evolved from networks, to apps, to sales, to entrepreneurship, to business, to markets.
We’re going to do a founder’s AMA over the next little bit where we’ll give a little more backstory and answer any questions, but those of you who’ve already met me know that I’m a very open and chatty person who loves meeting new people and learning new things, so hit me up on Twitter https://twitter.com/caseyjohnellis or reach out here.
Peace out.

Hi Everyone,
My name is David, I have been known as @flotrizzle for the past few years so feel free to use whatever y’all are comfortable with. I was an active duty network administrator in the Army for 6 years until I was medically retired at 23. The retirement was a blessing in disguise, I now have my entire life to devote to penetration testing and the study of computer forensics in its entirety. I am in no way new to this profession but I am new to Bugcrowd and hope to share my knowledge with everyone and learn new techniques along the way.
When I am not conducting penetration tests at home I am studying for my CompTIA or EC-Council exams. Some people call it “paper chasing” but I call it improving my resume. I like to take as many test’s as I can because it helps me keep a fresh mindset and gives me something to do on a boring day.ha
Feel free to contact me anytime.
