So much to learn, so little time.

I was raised by the Internet: Sorry for my shitposts!

Internally known as "novaTopFlex" throughout the Fediverse and the proprietary-verse alike, I am an aspiring prospective Linux enthusiast who is also interested in information security concepts, including, but not limited to, the various cybersecurity applications and applets that may exist for our benefit. I am gradually gaining new interests, both for the purposes of computer science and for cybersecurity. Although I am primarily focused on the computer science perspectives, I often switch between desktop environments as necessary and perform cybersecurity work under stress and under significant organizational strategy.

Software developer in Washington, DC (Herndon, VA specifically)

Doing #govtech, #cybersecurity python, dotnet, aws, mostly Infrastructure as Code and cloud apps.

I tweet about software, programming, #python, dad jokes, DC, Fed government tech contracting

I may be an organic large language model. Blue team graybeard. Toots are my own, rarely represent anyone else's view on reality, and may have been written in a country that processes nuts. “Be well read, not algorithm fed”. He/Him #BlueTeam #CyberDefense #PowerShell

Pro democracy / anti nazi / anti fascist / anti MAGA / anti crypto bros. Right now there is not much I do like. 
I follow educated people who have IMO intelligent insights on things. If you want to know and understand more than you do, follow people who know and understand more than you do. Also applies to inspiring / funny people / journalists / photographers. (There is a lot of overlaps in those groups and following intelligent people).
TL;DR - I boost a lot and follow smart / insightful / funny people and occasionally have something to say.

ReToots / Likes does not signify endorsement / agreement.

PS - Really do not want to follow anybody @bird.makeup and will not link to the (formerly known as) bird site.
