Tanya Janca, widely known as SheHacksPurple, is the Head of Community and Education at Semgrep and the best-selling author of Alice and Bob Learn Application Security. With over 25 years of experience in coding and IT, Tanya has become a leading advocate for secure software practices.
Her highly anticipated sequel, Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding, takes a deeper dive into building secure software from the ground up. This new book equips developers with practical techniques to integrate security at every stage of the development process. Tanya’s passion for teaching secure practices stems from her extensive career, which began in the Canadian government. Starting as a software developer, she later transitioned to election security and served as the IT Security Coordinator (CISO equivalent) for the 42nd General Election in Canada. Driven by her mission to “secure all the things,” Tanya continues to inspire and empower the global developer community, ensuring that security becomes a foundational element of software development.
