CPA & Attorney. Numbers first, law second, mostly self-taught the rest since I was a kid.
I started with accounting because I've always loved math. Then studied law, and now now doing a PhD. The other half of me is mostly self-taught: Python, ethical hacking, cybersecurity, philosophy of science & tech, stuff I've been teaching myself since childhood, long before any degree.
Formal education gave me the law and numbers. Curiosity gave me most of the rest. 🤓 Full-time nerd since childhood.
Studied formally:
- ⚖️ Tax, constitutional & criminal law (financial / cybercrime)
- 📊 Accounting & math
Mostly self-taught (since forever):
- 🐍 Python: automation & legal data analysis
- 🔐 Ethical hacking, privacy & security, encryption, GrapheneOS, homelab (Proxmox, self-hosting)
- 🧠 Philosophy of science & technology (the why behind the how)
