aeva started riding motorcycles at the age of 40, but they started having hyperfixations at a much, much younger age. this fact does not make them an expert on the topic, nor does it even make them qualified to talk to large audiences of very smart nerds.... but, at least, their career in open source software development and community management has helped prepare them to entertain such an esteemed forestcore gathering. maybe. we'll see. either way, they promise an entertaining presentation for those who like motorcycles and road trips.

while hyperfixations have supercharged aeva's career, their current job is entirely unrelated to this presentation and so is not mentioned here.

Let's start here, what do I know and who the hell am I?

Arcades: In the 90s my family hobbled together a MAME console with leftover wood in our garage, some banned circuit boards (yes legally banned), a large Sun Microsystems CRT and an overclocked Supermicro box. Almost three decades later during PandemicCon my wife and I started buying old 1980s arcade machines to restore for home use including Asteroids, Galaga, Pac-Man, Robotron, Tempest, Tron. This eventually led to building our own cabinets and internals for home use, in the middle of global supply chain issues.

Personally: I'm older than Yoda, talk fast, drink death incarnate levels of dark coffee, wear dad shoes (yes those big ass white sneakers), I have amazing family and friends. I'm active in two US east coast makerspaces, teaching cybersecurity and retro computing.

Professionally: Spent decades in cybersecurity firms, software companies and hedge funds. I've been everything from a low level ASM/C/C++ coder, pen tester, low latency network engineer, security engineer, infrastructure management and senior management.

Cons: This is my very first toorcamp and first time in Washington state! I've attended cybersecurity conferences for decades including Blackhat, BSides, Defcon, Defcon Shoot, HOPE, Pumpcon, Shmoocon, various LobbyCons and private events.

Family and Friends Shout Outs: My wife and kids for always believing in me. I am here because my amazing friends put together this surprise trip for me as a gift. They are /VickOdemus a.k.a. NickO, Peach and Ix0m. We're a pack of wiseasses.
