Demoscene coder. Cybersec consultant. A child of the 80s home computer era.
Depending on who you are I either help secure your stuff against evil hackers or I play one and show you how they work.
I use two accounts. This one is tech/retro/cybersec focused. Random social chitchat on random topics can be found over at @troed

Can confirm. Inbetween me being a self-taught coder in my youth to getting a degree in Software Engineering I also took a detour and got a degree as a Mechanical Engineer.
That involved CAD/CAM and running the output on CNC machines. Which involved hitting the metal piece with the head too far down and metal being flung around at ludicrous speed.
