  • In professional IT since '06, but I’ve been playing with (and fixing) computers since playing with my dad’s Timex Sinclair at the age of two. I’m a generalist who focuses mainly in OSes and automation, but I’ve had experience working in databases, mainframe performance tuning, security, cloud infrastructure, pretty much anything but web front-ends outside of tweaking a really basic Livejournal page’s HTML. 😂

    I’ve gotten as high as a domain and solutions architect; my three domains were Servers (Linux), Security, and Automation/SOA/DevOps (yes, I was a DevOps Architect, as much of an antipattern as that is… I didn’t make the titles! 😅). Currently looking for a new SRE/DevOps/DevSecOps gig after getting let go during some layoffs recently.

    As far as InfoSec is concerned, I take a very strong “Security is everyone’s responsibility” approach, since it’s us humans against the machines and “bad guys.” Even a newbie can pull a Cliff Stoll and say, “Huh, that’s funny.” We need to band together in community, so I’m hopeful this will be a net-positive.
