Ars Technica

Hi to the instance and Fediverse! I'm a CyberSec enthusiast in training. Returning from a long winter sleep outside the IT industry the last 12 years.

Previous experience involved Network Admin, Level II/II Tech Support, Help Desk, Technical writer, etc.. When I had a strong inclination towards computer security, it was challenging to find a career role that took it seriously. Now I see cyberscurity all over the pace and wish I had stayed in the ring.

The last 12 years I've been in retail leadership. Interesting compared to IT.

Now, reconnecting with the tech and cysec community and getting to know the Fediverse.

Cheers!
