OK time for an introduction thread! I'm Dan. I work in Platform Security. That's a mix of Application and Cloud Security. I got into cyber security 3 months into my 14 year dev career when I got hacked! Here is me chatting about such things and more! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I like skateboarding, learning Ki Aikido with my fiancée (I'm 6 months in, she's 9 years with a black belt grading). I also like to run (OK I like seeing nice views the mechanism I'm not sold on). I'm raising money as @0n1ydan5.bsky.social I used to box, play rugby and swim as a kid too.

In a much earlier life I was a club DJ - that was my first job. And I sometimes go on a nostalgia trip. I still play out now and then and write music, but not as frequently as I used to. You can find some old mixes here www.mixcloud.com/dansampayo/

Also as part of fundraising for Refuge UK we have produced some online safety videos! The first was with @lisaforte.bsky.social and Sarah Armstrong-Smith on romance scams and crisis management youtu.be/-X-5Tqs4wYw?...

The second was with @lockdownyourlife.com andthe very hard work of what it's like to decide to leave an abusive relationship and how she supports that. youtu.be/2Sq-jDAO8Bw?...
