This profile was written for people (sorry bots).What I've been doing? 2022 was a year of change and self-discovery and study. Continuing to build my coding chops, reviewing whatever they consider "Modern" these days... Studying, attending, growing, I am including a portfolio of attendance and CPE certificates from all the Continuing Education I've been doing on other fronts including: Cybersecurity Management, Compliance Policy education, Legal Challenges for modern businesses regarding Privacy and operational security, White Hat, Blue Team, Red Team, and Purple Team interests. I'm more of a Blue-Purple kinda guy. I don't really want to be a Red Team guy but I will if the job requires it. Team USA needs more Hackers. If you're interested in joining the fray check out https://www.hackthebox.com and give it a try, it may be fun!"I'd rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned." -- Richard FeynmanCY2022: I spent time deep-diving the world of music composition, digital distribution, and how block-chain technologies could play a part in that. I released 6 albums exploring different types of digital music style to see what I could do and what could be done. A great learning experience. I also employed online music distribution models so you can find my music under my alias on Audius, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Youtube, Soundcloud, and about 30 other platforms under the moniker: Stradius.The pandemic was a real challenge for most small businesses. Some of my clients died. Others chose this as the right time to sell-off and retire. The uncertain future presented by it changed our course. As I closed down the ITPDX business entity some of the ITPDX alumni succumbed to health conditions as well. The rest are in a freelancing state (as am I) during this period.

ITPDX's business model was based on assembling skilled teams around client-specific business needs. Every client is different. Every project requires different technologies, skillsets, and experience levels. To facilitate as much automation as possible without restricting the tools sub-contractors were allowed to use to meet their commitments I created a Team Management/Project Management environment based on open-source software technologies. Developed and automated most of the business operation for ITPDX by developing a team portal that provided project management tools (planning, staff management, progress tracking, and automatic billing systems). This allowed me to take on many roles without working myself to death in the process. Built logging, invoicing, and billing system. Wrote and maintained code in PHP hosted on Linux platforms. Upgraded code-base and UX interfaces over the years to meet new security and web browser technologies. Performed system administration for many of these clients and facilitated development environments. Maintained site under tight access control and monitoring.

RuleSpace Inc. (Acquired by Symantec in 2010) During this period I was responsible for anyplace the hybrid software products touched the web servers. We had integrated software updates and integrated trial/ecommerce into the windows client-side software to start out with and it evolved into server products later with even more complicated integration points. During this period I built hardened web operations infrastructure on a shoe-string budget. Designed, developed, and deployed web site integration support for several hybrid software/internet products. Directed development and production of four marketing web sites.When investments into the company ballooned it became possible to reorganize under additional leadership and I was able to shed a few hats (roles) at the same time. My Web Operations department needed to work for both Marketing and Engineering so it became time to split the department and align resources with those two focuses.The company was eventually purchased by Symantec as a component of Symantec Enterprise and then Symantec was merged into Broadcom.
