I'm a huge crafter. I spend so long on the computer. I work so much and I'm a very creative person. And I'm very creative. I love making stuff. I love being able to build something. I was a software engineer before I went into cybersecurity and became more of a breaker than a builder.

I knit, I crochet, I sew, I do embroidery because this is an audio podcast.
