Matt Allen 🇦🇺<p>It’s time for a proper <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>.<br>
I’m a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GeekDad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeekDad</span></a> with two boys.<br>I’m current serving military, but don’t know any secrets!
</p><p>I got to infosec.exchange just ahead of the main wave.<br>Somehow, through some early conversations and comments I managed to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RedTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RedTeam</span></a> my way onto some lists of ‘good people to follow’.<br>
On Twitter I stood at the back of the room and looked to people like you for information and perspective. Now it seems I’ve moved further into the room and people are looking at me and it feels like I’m taking the class ‘Introduction to#ImposterSyndrome’.</p><p>While I don’t work in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a> I do relate strongly to the community and learn from you all.<br>I know enough to know it’s always <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> (or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BGP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BGP</span></a>)
