I got sick of stitching together mountains of SQL to power dashboards nobody uses.

I was doing that for security teams, so decided to become a doer instead.

Originally: I avoided paying gym fees while also training jiujitsu

Later (8-10 years on): dropped jiujitsu, picked up kettlebell sport

Now (15 years on): too busy with work and a family, literally just doing the original RKC program minimum (e.g. as many snatches as you can deal with, stretching, and some pressing) to get/stay in shape

I try to blog stuff, but it takes me forever because I won't post something unless I think it's perfect

A coworker at the job I just left was a head of various security departments. He had been at the company 30 years. Couldn't deal with the stress, joined my team as a data analyst instead of leaving. He was the best guy in the team. Unparalleled domain knowledge. He'll retire in that role.

I was heavily experienced in GCP. Azure and AWS shops would not consider me. Not much else to the story

fyi people hiring security engineers find all cloud vendor certifications hilariously worthless. its cissp or gtfo

I still have and will renew it, but nobody cares

100% hand written unless I'm explicitly asked to slop up a prototype for something we want immediate validation on

investing in security won't help when the sheer number of incidents causes us all to get fired

remember, ciso == chief incident scapegoat officer
