45 years of writing software, from Altair front panels to speech recognition. Battleship sailor, MSNBC engineer, serial CTO, founder.

I write the RoamingPigs Field Manual: independent technical essays on what actually holds up in production, as opposed to what the vendor claimed. No sponsors, no paywall.

Here to argue with people who know more than I do.

Professional Security Curmudgeon. Breaker of things. Writer of questionable quality. Neuro-bonfire. Retro-futurist. Terminalcore connoisseur. Digital Nomad. Reactive AuDHDslave.

I preserve media. Make off-grid networks. Write software for humans.

Award winning, for some reason. Foremost security professional in my field, against my will. Alleged thought leader, for crimes in a previous life.
