Hacker and programmer... I am passionate about both security and coding. I understand the value that process automation can bring to a business, and I love challenging tasks. I learned from a colleague that "if we can't make it simple, then we don't really understand it," which is why I am passionate about bringing programming and information security together. When writing code (I prefer Python), I'm forced to break everything down into small pieces; everything needs to be understood. The world of InfoSec provides a plethora of opportunities to challenge one's coding skills, and provide an incredible value to the company, the community, and the security team. I enjoy Penetration Testing, Incident Response, Host and Network Forensics, Malware Analysis/Reverse Engineering, and just about anything else that involves Information Security or Programming/Software Engineering.
