New handle, who this?

For a long time my domain name, public usernames and social media accounts have all had my real name. The handle cmp0st is a shift away from having my personal details (face, real name etc) out there.

Working in tech, there has been a big benefit to using my real name because all my code and articles have all built up into a portfolio I can share. Thankfully my career has gathered enough momentum at this point that I don’t have to work that much on a public profile any more so here we are!

I’m finding that there is something refreshing about having less of my personal information out there. I work in cybersecurity so perhaps it is the natural flow of things to eventually drift toward anonymity over time as a defensive measure.

That said, maybe I just wanted the delightful greenfield of a new domain name 🪴
