We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

I was recently laid off, so I’m officially open to new opportunities. If you need a Hacker, or a teachable moment using Red Team tactics. I can also be a trainer, community builder & liaison.

You nest *same*-sized spoons. (4) PERSON: ...And apparently *we* sleep on the couch. PERSON 2 off-screen: Why are you *still* going on about the spoon thing? PERSON 1: Because I’m *right!*
