#ShareTheMicInCyber is happening! And I can't wait to introduce you all to Alexia aka @TypeErr0r.

To start let me tell you what I know about her.

/thread

I met Alexia at a security conference the day after I launched the podcast, and it only had 4 episodes then. She was the first person I met who I didn't know at all, who told me she listened to all episodes and wants more. As a podcaster, this is something you never forget.

So over the years I've ran into at other conferences and such, and sat down and talked with her a few times. Every time I'm thrilled to chat with her because of her knowledge and stories.

Get this, she's spent month (maybe years?) freighthopping. Where she would just jump on a random train with no idea where it was headed and ride the rails for adventure. Crazy right? Imagine the social engineering skills she picked up doing that.

But now here's what she's up to.

As a security engineer, Alexia hacks and defends Washington’s critical infrastructure applications and systems. With a background in agile dev, she has a fiery passion for iterative improvement, documentation, and transparency as foundations of secure, successful tech projects.

Alexia has contributed to several projects impacting Washington citizens. As a QA engineer, she developed custom CI/CD pipelines and delivered highly resilient and modern web apps to serve Washington’s small business owners.

At Washington’s largest human services agency, she collaborated with multiple technology units to plan and execute a SIEM and logging infrastructure deployment in addition to deploying and maintaining a network intrusion detection system.

Alexia is an Associate of ISC2, a Certified ScrumMaster, and working toward OSCP. She holds a bachelor of science in computer science and an associate of applied science in computer network administration.

Here’s a collection of resources she’s been compiling while studying for the OSCP!
