Oh, so apparently my contribution to the community is “clearly equal to almost zero”. 🙃
Let’s have a quick look at some of my community contributions; done in my free time, outside of my actual job.

Presented my 80-page research paper on Arm exploit mitigation bypasses and TrustZone attacks in front of @Arm engineers in Cambridge this year:
Also some of the community service invisible to the public: I’ve had my DMs open since day 1 and closed them only a week ago. I answered questions, gave guidance, mentored people, helped women deal with their abusers, and tried my best to encourage women to not leave this field.
I could go on, but you get the idea.
The fact that women are always expected to prove their contributions is exhausting, and also the reason why many women leave the industry or shy away from sharing knowledge publicly.

If you consider telling me to “just ignore” toxic bullies getting away with casting other women out of the industry, then I suggest you just ignore my tweets and let people use their voice to advocate for the change needed to keep minorities from leaving.
I said it twenty times and I’ll say it again: this is not about me.
If you think I’m going to be sheep and not use my reach to speak up about problems and try to change something for the people who aren’t being heard, then you’re following the wrong person.
