Thread by @OphirHarpaz

I wanted to write a blog post but Twitter is more fun so let's do it here.
Here's my 2019.
I left a job and started a new one at @Guardicore, which is today a true home to me.
I joined a team of professionals. and friends. People whose faces I just love seeing every day >>

I gave talks in 4 different countries on 3 different topics.
Taught a Threat Hunting workshop.
Co-organized @Baot_IL's technical blogging events, making tens of technical blog posts written by women reach the internet.
Pushed women to submit their first abstract to conferences >>

I reversed binaries,
Analyzed procmon traces and pcaps,
Parsed MSIs,
Hacked whatever,
Did data analysis (yes, me, I swear)
Wrote hell lot of code (compared to what I usually tolerate),
Got better at coding, debugging, scaling, designing, reversing, hunting, investigating >>

Got to be in @BlueHatIL review board.
Won some awards.
Found something which went viral enough that the BBC thought it was worth publishing.
Received applause in the middle of a live interview.
Inspired a couple of infosec newcomers >>

I'm writing this to remind myself, not you, of my achievements. This thread is for the next time I feel down and need a reminder of what I'm capable of.
All this was possible thanks to a couple of people who hopefully know how much I'm grateful >>

Thank you, the person who leads me professionally, setting the bar exactly high enough, with the perfect amounts of presence and absence, challenge and assistance,
Thank you, the friends at work and at home who are there in both the most exciting moments and the toughest ones >>

Thank you, my sisters in @Baot for always, always pushing forward, and more importantly, pushing me forward to push others forward.
Thank you, my family, for always standing on my side.
and thank you, my love, for your existence, your intelligence, and constant love and support.
