Technology

I’m in cybersecurity, so when I write about specific technical fields, I try to do so with the humility of a layperson.

I write a lot about technology because I think it’s profoundly important. Not for its own sake, but because it affects the trajectory of humans progress.

My stated purpose here is to:

Explore the interesting and beautiful at the intersection of security, technology, and humans.

…and this really captures it. When I write about technology I prefer to come from the perspective of how it affects people. But I also do provide more technical resources for those who need something specific.

Below are a number of my essays and tutorials on multiple technical topics going back to 1999.
