Bejar started at Yahoo in 1998, initially working on a billing application. Around that time, he was building on his hobby--classic cars--and focusing on one car in particular: a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera named "El Pato," Spanish for "The Duck" (pictured).
"El Pato was built as Yahoo took off. I built or rebuilt almost every part of it, under the supervision of Bob, my mechanic," Bejar said. "To some extent, I see El Pato as analogous to my time here at Yahoo. The security program has taken time to put together, and it requires a lot of thought and understanding of how the different parts interact."
