ballistic routing was my strategy. ballistic routing is the technique of setting a goal post that feels unrealistic, moving as quickly as you can towards it, but accepting any distractions that come along. once you get bored of your distraction adopt your old or a new goalpost.
I originally got into programming because of an interest in computer animations. using computers more got me interested in security. when I got to school my new goalpost was cryptography.
My first job out of school was developing a password key manager. The interest in cryptography and experience in security landed me a job at a company that did that work, but my position was in machine learning and programming languages. Because of some of the ML applications I got to see the new goal was to get into environmental studies, graduate school allowed me to explore computational models for light pollution and cetacean vocalizations. I did this concurrently as a data engineer for a neuro imaging lab
datapipelines and interest in cetaceans give me a brief run as a web developer for animal tracking site. This cumulated in pushing me towards data science. now I work in machine learning for computer security.
