I’m a nerd that fell in love with Linux and programming in college. Initially, I was going to be a red-teamer, or an exploit developer. It introduced me to Linux, C programming, scripting, Wireshark, and a million different hands-on assignments that taught me the real key skills I’ve used in my career: problem-solving and constant learning. Eventually, I started collecting some hardware to run a home lab, and discovered a love of Linux system administration, running various services, and causing myself all kinds of trouble and stressful nights fixing what I broke.
