Cryptanalysis Enthusiast

It is time I turned my lifelong passion and hobby into a career while I'm still young. I'm self-taught through a combination of books, open course classes, and community involvement. The most technically impressive thing I can say about myself is that a couple years ago I solved twenty cryptopals puzzles in as many days, without looking at anyone else's code. I spend a lot of time, since Covid started, volunteering in disaster relief - purposefully putting myself outside my technology comfort zone. Travel is now welcome, public speaking still scares me but in a good way, and I have never felt so grounded. Hollar if interested, Michael
