Welcome to my personal website... I'm so glad you found it.
Me
Professionally, I come from a non-technical background. I majored in Finance and Economics, then worked in the financial sector for over ten years. Now I've pivoted into cybersecurity, with a strong interest in OSINT, CTI and forensics.
Personally, I enjoy a number of hobbies and activities, including birdwatching, growing things, landscape design, plant propagation and other stuff. I also hunt for and collect glass bottles and other relics.
About this site
Wanting a space of my own creation, I spent a ridiculous amount of time testing out various static site generators and got nowhere. Then I discovered Astro, spent an equally ridiculous amount of time learning the framework and playing around with design, but also fell in love. (I plan to write about this in more detail). Working with Astro ultimately resulted in this site and now I can start writing.
Note that I am not a developer or a designer. This site is a hobby and imperfect in how it looks, works, and feels, but it's good enough to start, and it's time for me to accept 'good enough'.
In general, my plans include:
- Content related to cybersecurity topics, projects and activities.
- Other posts on a variety of things, including a 'Today I Learned' or 'TIL' section
- Short-form notes, thoughts and ideas.
- Quizzes, Questions and Tips
You may sometimes find:
- Evolving designs and "features" that seem out of place and don't fit 'standards'.
- Throwbacks as I reminisce over the old web, where personal websites were common.
DISCLAIMER!!! This site is home-grown, built on trial and error, curiosity, frustration, inspiration and a desire to create something of my own. There are no "best practices" or optimizations just yet. I have a lot of ideas, and will continue make adjustments as I go. This is my space to share with probably no one, and to have fun, experiment and play, so glitches, incomplete content and odd features might show up occassionally.
