After almost a decade in SEO I decided I wanted to be a software developer and attended a coding bootcamp from 2019-2020. I ended that experience in March of 2020, the worst possible time, maybe ever, to be looking for a job.

Gaining your first developer job is hard, doing it while a global pandemic is underway and everyone in the world seems to be laying people off, seemed impossible.

While unemployed and reevaluating my life choices up until that point, I decided to re-explore old interests. I've always wanted to be a hacker, so I looked into cybersecurity.

I can not give enough thanks to David Bombal, Network Chuck, and Black Hills Information Security. Their respective YouTube channels were invaluable in getting me started on this path.
