Imperfect ally, but I'm trying my best. This is an LGBTQ+ safe space.

Recent-ish transplant to the Twin Cities. Liberal Christian escaping the hellscape that is the south. Partner to a kick-ass woman who is smarter than me and has the PhD to prove it.

For money, I am a writer of all things #IaC as a #DevOps engineer. Occasional rescuer of servers. More frequent destroyer of servers.

For my sanity, I'm also a fan of:

#dadjokes
#puns
#LEGO
#cycling
#pf2e
#boardgames
#urbanism and urban planning in general

I boost all corgis (then share them with my partner), the odd assortment of tech humor and terrible puns, posts from folks seeking employment, things relevant to MN or US current events (being careful to avoid a large degree of negativity), and the rare political hot take. I hope to provide a place where everyone can feel welcome, be comfortable being themselves, and smile after leaving.

Just a guy, a computer, and an ongoing attempt to work less and live more.

For fun: #homeassistant, #factorio, #foosball, metal shows, grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting.

And it pains me to need to say that I do not consent to any third-party Mastodon or other fediverse instance's Terms of Service, as I am not a user of their service. All posts are my own, and permission to propagate them is always revocable.

I'm a cypherpunk, interested also in solarpunk. I have a holistic approach to security. Professionally, I have worked in various areas of IT and cybersecurity, including critical infrastructure protection and combating disinformation.

I believe that empathy and effective communication are the right way to solve problems, but because I am a neuroatypical person, this does not always work.

My interests are fluid and dynamic :blobcatgiggle:
Here are some of them:
- security / cybersecurity
- privacy / surveillance
- social engineering / OSINT
- hacking / hacktivism
- mini PCs / retro PCs
- homelab / self-hosting
- e2e encryption
- FOSS
- landscape photography
- neurodiversity
- psychology / mental health / addictions
- philosophy
- the impact of climate change and technological development on health
- cycling / MTB / hiking
- restoration of cars over 25 years old
- human rights / equality

Recovering SecOps Director (currently a Cloud Security Engineer) with no delusions of ever becoming a CISO and possibly never a "people leader" again. Ex-Mandiant, Cisco, Ping (Identity not golf), Tenable, and Gemalto.

Somehow IT security related.
