Welcome to my technology-focused blog, a unique corner of the internet where my thoughts and experiences, distilled and refined by AI technology, serve as a bridge between humans and the ever-evolving world of tech.
Since my childhood, I’ve been captivated by the allure of technology. I remember the sense of wonder that swept over me when I first learned how calculators worked. My parents gifted me a book detailing their usage, sowing the seeds of my lifelong fascination with these remarkable tools. The book presented a variety of calculation problems, demonstrating how they could be dissected and solved using this relatively new invention.
Ironically, this early fascination acted as a double-edged sword. In my youthful shortsightedness, I didn’t see the point of studying advanced math in high school. Why exert so much effort when calculators could tackle complex calculations? Although this mindset did not initially appear to handicap me, I ultimately realized that knowing the underlying principles of math was indeed invaluable, especially when I pursued a career as an engineer.
As my career evolved, I dabbled in various technologies, embracing an early adopter mindset. I explored everything from Merlin to big-trax, and my first tryst with a computer was with a TI-994A, a device that introduced me to BASIC programming. As my curiosity grew, so did my technological arsenal – I invested in a modem and delved into networking, operated BBS’s, and even ventured into building an internet service provider.
Fast forward to the 90s, and I found myself working for an RBOC, designing and selling frame relay networks for enterprise and government. From there, I immersed myself in 802.11 wireless, packet voice, and eventually, packet voice over wireless.
Over the years, it became increasingly clear that my passion and aptitude lay in cybersecurity. With a comprehensive understanding of diverse network and computer systems, I discovered that my broad exposure to technology gave me a distinct advantage in the cybersecurity world. In this domain, applications and infrastructure seamlessly merge, requiring a deep understanding of multiple technologies.
I am grateful for my diverse and unique perspective on the evolution of technology over the decades. As we step into an era where AI is increasingly prevalent, I am confident that my experience and knowledge will continue to be of great value.
This blog will chronicle my journey through the world of technology. I will share captivating stories and insights on current technologies, providing a comprehensive look at my personal and professional experiences. It’s important to note that while I employ AI to refine my thoughts and ensure readability, every concept and idea you read here is genuinely mine, untouched by artificial intelligence. Together, let’s navigate the vast and intriguing realm of technology.
