About

I’m Trevor. I’ve been doing this long enough to have made most of the mistakes at least once, and some of them twice because I was sure the situation was different that time.

Career arc: Armour/Gunner → software engineer → seven years in cloud ops → infosec. I didn’t plan it that way. It’s just where the problems were.

I write about what I wish someone had told me earlier — mostly infrastructure, security, and the consequences of decisions that seemed reasonable at the time. The target reader is me, about a year ago. If you’re a few years ahead of me, you’ll probably find things to disagree with. That’s fine.

I’m a Head of Infosec at a small company. I also make things with leather and tools, play in a band, and occasionally print things onto other things. None of that is incidental.

0xDECAFBAD — hex for “decafbad.” It’s a thing. Look it up.
