Hello Mastodon,

I'd like to #introducemyself and I'm happy to be here and still learning how this platform works, but it seems to be pretty simple.

I used #Twitter mostly for professional reasons. I follow those within my field, and occasional nerd things. I used Twitter as a platform to find out the latest news in the #cybersecurity field. As you might know, when vulnerabilities first come out they sometimes show up on these platforms before the official press releases are sent. Which is why I'm genuinely sad that Twitter has become challenging to use. IRL, I am a very happy and friendly person, and I like to surround myself with those who are also happy and friendly people, and that's why I'm here. 😀​

I very much look forward with engaging the #IT #cybersecurity and #infosec communities on here.

A little more about me:
- I work in the #Cybersecurity #Cloud #Infrastructure #systemsengineering fields.
- I believe a lot of technical challenges can be solved through automation. It's important to work hard, but it's more important to work efficiently.
- I love scripting in Python, PHP, SQL, and PowerShell. I will also learn scripting on the fly for a project.
- I have various certifications, including the CISSP and working on the CCSP next! #isc2
- In my downtime I am studying over 30 languages, only speak 3-4 fluently, 5-8 semi-fluently. I'm very fascinated in the history of proto-languages and how they've woven into the modern languages we have today.
- I'm a STEM, Sci-Fi, and Marvel/DC nerd; an example of this is that I once watched all of #StarTrek in chronological order to the Star Trek universe -- it took 9 months, but was worth it. 🖖​

Finally, I like to learn something new everyday, and today it's #Mastodon 🤓​

Happy #caturday let me #introduce my 3 cats. Jasper, Samantha (outside and occasional inside cat), and Quimby (aka Queen-Bee).
