Christopher Bulin

I am a developer from Mississippi, US. However, I am not a developer in the sense that you are. I do not write code, frontend or backend, UI, UX, or whatever other shorthand saying there is

I am a developer of ideas. I am an entrepreneur and startup founder.

I joined hashnode to learn to understand the developer community better. Hashnode, I feel, will allow me a voice to educate and hopefully influence others. It allows me a different community than that of which I have on LinkedIn. It will broaden my own education and network.

My background has been in payments, specifically merchant services for small-to-medium businesses, for the past 20 years. Over the last 4, though, I have been focusing on PCI Compliance. Helping people understand what it is, why it is essential, and the truth that the industry has misrepresented.

I feel I have a voice and that people need to know the truth and understand the complexities of what and why PCI has what they call a “shared responsibility” and how it impacts businesses of all sizes.

We all have a role to play in securing a better future.
