About Me
I am @c0debabe@hackers.town — hacker as in computer wizard, hacker as in tinker. Hacker as in I have a 3D printer and make stuff. Hacker as in I make browser plug-ins to mess with advertisting.
Hacking is not a crime. A hacker is not by default a cyber criminial.
I ask why a lot. I want to understand how things work and why things work they way they do. I want to grok what I'm doing, not do them simply because I was told to. Everyone tells me this is a strength but it also means I butt heads with folks in organizations that don't value you transparency, open communication, and change.

Past Experience
I've worked with these in the past, it was educational, but I'd rather not work with them again: Java, Apache Tomcat, Magento, and WordPress.
