You can call me Socks or Nala, on the internet.
I'm currently a [REDACTED] at [REDACTED], where I am lucky that I get to work primarily with Golang and PHP.
When I'm not coding, you can find me dissociating and longing to explore the forests, mountains, and lakes of the PNW.
I originally got in to programming as a young teenager with HTML and JS after being inspired by some Xbox360 shenanigans.
From there things quickly spiraled, I started meeting incredible minds who guided and inspired me to where I am today over a decade and a half.
Greets to all of you.
I have almost always had an interest in cyber security related topics.
In my early 20s I took advantage of my experience to tackle a new objective; certifications.
2021
I bought a $99 USD exam voucher for the eJPT, and just sent it.
Holy cow, I passed 19/20.
Wow.
2022
I convinced a friend to buy my eCPPTv2 exam voucher.
He spent $400 USD on me... I commited to not letting him down.
I passed this too. Made us both proud.
