hacking and poking and smashing
once i started figuring out how computers work, i also began seeing how to bend them to my will. i was in fourth grade when i opened the Chrome dev tools for the first time, and now i'm studying for my CompTIA Security+ certification.
so how did i get into this? well, it started when i was a little kid, watching Katy Perry music videos on the iMac in our living room. even then, my parents were pretty astonished at how intuitively i navigated the computer. i loved playing all the little games i could find on websites like PBS Kids, and this quickly became the main thing i associated the internet with (to be expected of a kid that age).
