My second Hackster.io Blog piece
Published my second piece on Hackster this time focusing on some other main interests of mine, cybersecurity and the open-sourced community.
If you store any aspect of personal data on the internet, then you can understand how important cybersecurity can be. We want to protect our data using high-tech cybersecurity tools but I also believe that is an important for these tools to be public facing, and not hiding any secrets behind closed doors. The Cybersecurity company that I talk about in my second piece SoloKeys, shares this world view and I couldn’t be more excited for the products they are currently developing.
But I won’t spoil anything for you, feel free to check out my second piece over on the Hackster blog for more details!
Started doing some casual tech-blogging!
Hackster is the world’s largest network for hardware & software developers. With 1,100,000+ members and 18,000+ projects, beginners and professionals can learn and share how to build robotics, industrial automation systems, AI-powered machines, and everything in between.
For the past three years I’ve been both publishing and following tons of writers, inventors and creatives on Hackster.io. The website maintains an inspirational community that help promote fun side projects and ingenuis inventions. Which is why I couldn’t be happier that I was approached with an opporunity to start tech-blogging for the community.
As a technical writer I’ll be responsible for finding cool technical hardware or software projects online, summarizing them so the average user can understand them, and publishing that material for Hackster’s viewership.

Article about a collaboration project for a Raspberry Pi NAS.
Spent a few weeks working with cybersecurity researcher Josiah Bryant making a device to allow users to quickly and securely share files locally. For example, imagine you were having a get together with friends to talka bout your last big trip. If you all had tons of images/videos which you wanted to share with each other but you didn’t want to publish it to a coporate cloud like Google, you could just utilize our solution to privately share those files amongst each other.
