Tech enthusiast, security expert, fun person. Knowledge is power!

(Formerly @kamatahvel)

Self-taught software engineer that still has much left to learn, tinkerer, builder of yet-another overengineered solution, LED strip fanatic, father of 2 cats, linguaphile and armchair linguist. Trying to learn about local native plants while slowly rewilding my lawn. English is my mother tongue but might toot in poorly-constructed Estonian on occasion (veaparandused on alati teretulnud)

British SysAdmin, electronics amateur (despite a degree in it), tea and bacon addict, skeptic and gamer. ZX Speccy and Amiga owner, general retro computer stuff too. If I like a post, it might just be a bookmark for me. Professionally I do endpoint management with cyber sec hat on top for a HE in the UK. No I’m not interested in your AI snake-oil (generative mostly). Privacy matters. Treat others as you would wish to be treated. Don’t be an arsehole.

No longer teaching, but still studying cybersecurity. I sometimes help out with CCDC. Likely needs a nap.

Sole proprietor, FIFO Networks

Most of my money comes from contract work for public utilities around the country, but I also provide remote tech support to small business and SOHO clients, mainly (but not exclusively) in the USA.

I do a fair amount of custom work for people when a loved one dies: unlocking computers, data recovery, and account recovery (Advice: keep paying their cell phone bill until you've got all their data back).

Also, personal cybersecurity for journalists, TV reporters, politicians down to the City Council level, and political candidates. TV stations: contact me for contract pricing for your entire news team.
