About Me 👋

Summary

Hi, I'm Oscar! I'm a backend engineer on the Secure: Composition Analysis team. I have experience in the Security, Privacy and Software engineering fields. If you would like for me to review your Go/Ruby/Rust code, or if you have any questions related to Composition Analysis, I'm happy to help.

How I work

My work schedule is non-linear on some days, so I prefer to work asynchronously and appreciate @ comments since I defer to my todo list first triaging my tasks. I recognize that sometimes it's a lot easier (or required) to discuss issues synchronously, so I welcome synchronous communication as well. If you'd like to meet and talk through something in a synchronous manner, ping me through Slack or drop me an invite to a Zoom meeting. 😄

Communication

I am passionate about the work that I do, and frequently use emojis and exclamation points to communicate this. That being said, I understand that this is not to everyone's preference, so if this is something that you would prefer I not do when communicating with you, please let me know, and I will adjust my communication style. Similarly, if there's anything else I can do to create an environment where you feel safe, included and with a sense of belonging, please point this out to me so I can make the necessary adjustments.

If you need to communicate with me through Slack, please include context on how I can assist you best in the initial message. This helps me reply to you quickly with an answer. For more context, see no-hello.

Reviews

If I'm reviewing your work, please include as much context as possible!. I don't mind reading through epics, issues, threads/comments, etc. and consider all of the above when doing my reviews. If I don't find enough context, I will likely ask for it, and defer the review. So, for efficiency, please include all the details. 😄

If I'm at capacity and there are no other reviewers available, you may assign your MR for me to review if I'm a maintainer or reviewer for the project. Similarly, you may also request for me to review your MR if I have previously reviewed it and have the context of the changes. I make use of conventional comments when reviewing code to reduce the ambiguity of my intent and tone. Likewise, I appreciate when the same is done if you are reviewing my code. 🤝

Social Profile

Feel free to schedule a coffee chat with if you see free time on my calendar. If the time doesn't work out for me, I will move it around, but I promise we will find some time to make it happen.
