pH_<p>Redoing my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a> to include hashtags </p><p>About myself:<br>I was in tech pretty early as a kid, can't afford my own tech so had to use public resources to teach myself. </p><p>Past life (1980s-90s): Ran a BBS and a network, created BBS sharewares, created game hack/cheats, wrote game walkthrough FAQs. This is where part of my nick (pH_) came from. I spent &gt;10 years coding sharewares and helping pre-college students with their programming projects, and being rejected by all the universities in my ex-country for no "proper training in computer science".</p><p>(2000s) Ran my own web development business for a bit, but I pulled out of it before the 'fast food' style of DIY website wizards hit the industry. It was at the same time I realised car detailing is a much more lucrative business.</p><p>Present life: a systems/network engineer for a couple of decades, network and security architect for the next decade plus. I'm in infosec currently, they call me an architect, my ex-manager calls me the adult in a room. I help business owners to "get" infosec and risks. I draw boxes all day</p><p>Interests:<br>I am obsessed with lego, I am learning photography for about 20 years now. I game a lot. <br>I watch too much anime and play too much JRPG.<br>i also appreciate: Web comics, art, memes<br>I generally want to do too many things and have too little time to do all of it. </p><p>Things I'm currently learning: pentesting, malware analysis, rust, solving a rubik's cube.<br> </p><p>I don't expect to find old friends here, but I hope to make new ones in my journey to better myself.</p><p>(and none of the above are answers to security questions :P)<br> <br>Hashtags: <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/engineer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>engineer</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/architect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architect</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sysop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sysop</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shareware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shareware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/programmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programmer</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>game</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/risks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>risks</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pentesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pentesting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rust</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rpg</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/memes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memes</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WebComics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebComics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lego</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BlueTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTeam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/jrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jrpg</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/caffeine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>caffeine</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ph5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ph5</span></a></p>
