In my spare time, I enjoy video games, science fiction and fantasy, and travel.

Former child. Current goblin.

I've done everything from building drag cars to engineered soils testing.

Last decade has been in network and infrastructure administration, and I must've walked through the wrong door or something because now I do Cybersecurity. Privacy advocate, love finding loopholes and making systems do things they weren't designed for. Never felt more "these are my people" than I have in infosec. Extremely lucky to be here.

Probably the only person here with justified imposter syndrome and am hoping I can learn enough through osmosis by shitposting here that I'm capable of contributing something.
