I have 20+ years of experience in common applications, programming, systems, and databases, with strong knowledge of application design and data-driven development. In short, I\u2019m a security-focused professional who can code.<\/p>\n<p>I excel at troubleshooting, writing efficient code, solving complex problems, and rapidly adapting to new tech. I\u2019ve often been added to teams as a liaison for my ability to understand system connections and the big picture.<\/p>\n<p>My interpersonal and communication skills are excellent. I\u2019ve been a trainer, lecturer, and go-to person\u2014not just for what I know, but for my ability to find and explain information to any audience. This applies to technical puzzles or customer service challenges alike. I\u2019ve presented to audiences of 200+.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m passionate about information security and its moving parts\u2014from NIST to Python. I can pick a lock and brief the C-suite at the same time. Hobbies include SDR, WiFi\/Bluetooth sniffing, Scapy, and packet analysis. I volunteer with BSides (speaker) and the SCA (coach and webmaster).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/advisory-board\/\">Back to Advisory Board<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an information security professional and CISSP, I hold a master\u2019s in cybersecurity with advanced studies in intrusion detection, penetration testing, architecture, OS security, and&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/advisory-board\/steve-pote\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Steve Pote<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2224,"featured_media":0,"parent":790,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3265","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3266,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3265\/revisions\/3266"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/socialengineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
