In this episode, we have the powerful Tamas Henning, Director of Security Engineering at Marqeta and also Trust and Safety Advisor for XR Safety Initiative.

Tamas got started in technology at a very young age and that is credited to his dad. In the Early 90s his dad built a software company, and he was a super curious kid. By 6th grade, he learned trigonometry just so he could recreate Tetris.

Take a listen to this incredible origin story and passion project of securing XR.
