  • Gravitational Teleport

    The easiest, and most secure way to access and protect all of your infrastructure.

  • I work on the Desktop Access feature for Teleport: https://goteleport.com/docs/desktop-access/getting-started/

    The tool itself is open core: https://github.com/gravitational/teleport

    Most of the desktop access stuff is open source. The only desktop related thing that's proprietary is our tool that allows for access to machines not connected to Active Directory. A sizeable chunk of the desktop access code is even Written In Rust™: https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/tree/master/lib/sr...!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
