I'm a little late with my #introduction post. I'm currently a Senior Cloud Security Architect who loves building. I'm currently working with a customer somewhere in the Fortune 20 list. I really love #devops #devsecops #cloud and #iac. My IaC of choice is #terraform.

I really enjoy being able to build something complex and be able to deploy it with code. My cloud platforms of choice are #aws and #azure. I'm going to try and post up projects I'm working on here in the future.

Another favorite from the archive.

Because I keep reading that Escher's work entered the public domain today. From 2003:

Lynn Conway, electricial engineer and computer scientist, co-architect of the VLSI design revolution, and transgender activist, was born #OTD in 1938.

She invented Dynamic Instruction Scheduling at IBM, but IBM fired her when they learned she was transitioning.

My first completed artwork of 2023 is a Kingfisher. Kingfishers are said to symbolize freedom, courage, adventure, and abundance - all things that I wish for all of us in the new year.

I don't normally add backgrounds to my animal paintings so this is a bit of an experiment for me (courage!) and I'm not sure I love it but here we are :)

Acrylic and watercolour on watercolour paper, 10 x 15 inches.

Heard this today...

"What’s the difference between COVID and Southwest Airlines? COVID is airborne.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Sláva Ukrayíni!

Mastodons originated in Europe and then rapidly spread worldwide after a cataclysmic event.

Archeologists believe the cataclysmic event was either an asteroid impacting the atmosphere, a super volcano, or a bozo billionaire.

@MattHodges After listening to an episode of Let's Learn Everything podcast, I was inspired to add randomness to a quilt.

From my Ukrainian friend, to all of you

On this day I’m thinking about Ukrainians struggling without electricity, trying to stay warm, fearful of Russian violence and hoping to stay alive amid a war that is so unnecessary. May the coming year bring an end to the madness.

Don’t know who took this shot but it’s kinda epic: a Great Grey Owl lands on a photog’s camera.

Please accept this tiny goat.

Someone asked why we don’t have our blinds open, as is the #Chanukah tradition, with menorahs in the window. This is #Ottawa today, #Canada today. As the recipient of multiple #antisemitic death threats, it isn’t safe to indicate that our home is Jewish. Let that #hate sink in.
