So I was holding off on talking too much about it here until I told my students, but since the word's out there: I'm moving at the end of this school year, and thus need to find new work. I've been teaching math, digital media, and science at the middle-to-high school level for the last 15ish years, and before that I was a programmer working in game development with a computer engineering degree.

I'm ready for a change. I've been studying #infosec , completed PT1, currently working on OSCP+. I don't know exactly what I want, but I have a dream of being able to sit somewhere in/around nature, my laptop tethered to data, breaking ur networks and writing up helpful reports so you can fix them.

Want to hire a helpful new remote Penetration Tester on a part-time or trial basis? I'm up for small short-contract work soon, with some hours available around my day job for now and much more hours open come July.

I'm also applying (via normal routes) for teaching roles that might be temp / part time in the fall, so work that would continue to be irregular temporary contracts might fit just fine. Or on the unlikely case that you're wanting to hire a remote game programmer, I might also be your human!

Things I care about: honesty, diversity, not being a fascist, the value of learning and asking each other questions.

Oh, and I *also* have experience coding genAI models using PyTorch on the side, *and* understand them well enough to give a thorough explanation as to why the current AI hype bubble is not to be trusted, and I do not currently use LLM or genAI for anything other than seeing if it breaks in funny or security-exploitable ways.
