Top SchoolCharles Heywood is an information security engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience, currently a founding team member at Distrust where he builds core tooling like Keyfork, Icepick, and StageX while supporting audits and infrastructure deployment. He writes production code in Rust, Lua, and Python and brings a practical SecOps mindset to secure tooling and platform reliability. Based in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, he combines developer-first engineering with operational security, focusing on auditable, deployable solutions rather than theoretical designs. An active open-source maintainer and professional IRCv3 nitpicker, he contributes to community protocols and reproducible tooling.
