Trying to Fill Some Giant Shoes...

Tuesday, May 24th marks the first DCC for me to be an "official" cast member! I'm taking over the vacant chair left by Mr. John Wagnon, as our DCC security specialist. Having seen John in the community for years and years, it seems like a daunting task, but I've got some great people to learn from, for sure.

Back in 2008 or so, I was introduced to F5 as a customer and, at the time, was very much an Open Source zealot. I shied away from purchasing anything at all besides servers to run Linux on. I was truly moved by F5's community website and began my transition to becoming an F5 zealot when I found this gem of an article that comletely changed the health and performance of my massive scale SaaS implementation.

It's awesome to have my first livestream be a Top5, as the crew had me test out my chops with a Top5 for March:

It was the first thing I did in my new home studio, though, so I had to come to grips with moving on from my old Blue Yeti mic and get down to business with a spare Shure SM-57 I had from my snare drum.

I'm truly honored to join this cast of characters, buulam, JRahm & PSilva and will work to deliver the best community focused security content possible.
