Heyaaa!!

I'm LJ (any), some people also know me as Leo (he/his) or Janis (she/her). I'm some kind of nyanbinary femby cat with too many special interests to count. Where my dayjob revolves mostly around securing orgs IT systems, my technical interests range from everything around AppSec, cryptography, reversing etc. to software archeology, encodings, file formats, POSIX, operating systems & firmware, theoretical CompSci, programming languages, uhhhh yeah, basically anything that is a good excuse to not do Lohnarbeiten at that time.

But I'm also interested in fashion, linguistics, history, politics, philosophy(!!), arts & writing, indoor design & architecture, music and sports (running, handball). I love to talk about weird intersections of seemingly very different topics and I apply this to my vocation: Teaching. It's the best thing I've ever done and ever will, because there's nothing lovelier than showing someone who doesn't think they'd ever understand $thing to a) prove them wrong in the best way possible, b) and show them how this stuff's actually interesting, ideally even igniting a spark that continues to grow.

Unfortunately I'm also easily overwhelmed and may retreat randomly into my head, so please understand and don't take this too personally :3

I also have a blog at https://www.ljrk.org/blog and maintain a much more personal microblog over on the Fediverse https://todon.eu/@ljrk. There's also an AO3 at [redacted] 0:-)
