James Siegel

Starting from the Sinclair ZX81 until now, have never been without a computer. Programmer in high school, avoided that career path since in those days most programmers ended up in bank or insurance company basements without windows. Have always been involved in one way or another in PC and server builds and OS exploration. Took my personal passion and eventually made it into a career when the economy tanked in the not so recent past. (circa 2009). So now I get paid to do what I would normally do for fun, and often do anyway. My passion for security comes from seeing that the whole world is becoming more digitally connected. That's scary when you realize that so many people leave the doors and windows wide open and publicly lay out their own dirty laundry for all the world to see. Philosophically that scares the daylights out of me. Let's see what we can all do to work on making the world a bit safer place for our children, their children, and the children still yet to come.
