Who am I? As the title says, I am both right and left brained. In tech many are left brained centric. Being both means that I am good with the details and with the abstracts. As a security engineer dealing with threats and hunting for them, I am good at picking out the patterns in a mountain of data. It means that I am good at building solutions into a function foundation. In college, where my classmates were good with multiple choice questions and matching terms, I was good at the essays. The place where we were asked to think abstractly and show what you earned.

From my point of view a good security engineer knows how things work, but are not sysadmin. We are the ones hunting for the risks and attacks.

A technical career is a never ending practice of learning.
