In My Own Time

So when I’m not y’know working or doing anything semi-related to cybersecurity, what do I do? Well…

• Big fan of playing games, although this means more time at my desk…oops.
• Reading is pretty fun - it’s nice to find a nice lil spot and take a book out.
• I’m a huge fan of baking - so far sourdough bread is my go to (who doens’t love bread), but I do enjoy baking anything I can. Hopefully some croisstants soon if I’m feeling brave.
• Last but by no means least - I love hanging out with the family dog, Lulu. She’s a doxiepoo - a cross between a daschund and a poodle, 9 years old and cuddly af (if you’re (un)lucky you might find a picture of her somewhere on here).
