InfoSec is a daunting field for many. For people who are neurodivergent, this field can be even more challenging to get into. The goal of this lightning talk is to highlight some of the challenges and pain points that neurodivergent people may experience when contributing to open source InfoSec projects, when getting started in InfoSec as a new career, or when changing careers to InfoSec, and to provide implementable solutions to these challenges, that are designed to make a positive impact.

Rin is the Content Marketing Manager at Esper. They enjoy discussing all things open source, with a particular focus on diversity in tech, improving hiring pipelines in OSS for those that are neurodivergent, and removing accessibility barriers to learning programming. Rin is also a Member of Kubernetes, a contributor to Spinnaker, involved in the Kubernetes Contributor Experience SIG, and is a Storyteller on the Kubernetes Upstream Marketing Team. When not immersed in all things OSS and cloud-native, they can be found hanging out with their wife and pets, making candles, cooking, or gaming.
