About

I'm Alan Fairless

I'm a hacker, software engineer, and repeat-offender entrepreneur known for building security focused software systems.

I recently founded Transportant which helps K12 school systems keep students safe by making their school buses smarter (hardware & software.)

Previously I cofounded SpiderOak in 2006. The approach to "No Knowledge" end-to-end encrypted products and effective information security was endorsed by famous hacker Kevin Mitnick, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, and featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Wired, and many others. Our products have been used by millions of people, various governments and large corporations around the world.
