Tom Hocker

You could scan my resume and check a bingo card for buzzwords, or, if you're feeling bold, keep reading.... Infosec, Human Resources and Retail Ops...oh my! Getting paid to do those things is cool but not as cool as what no one pays me to do: * Coding Python with a focus in task automation(both web and desktop), web scraping and machine learning (https://github.com/humandecoded). * Volunteering to help infosec job seekers with their resume and interview skills * Leading Trace Labs, an infosec non-profit with thousands of members and a global mission * Spoke at conINT 2020 on the importance of ethical OSINT collection * Competed in the Social Engineering CTF at Defcon 27. * Working with domestic abuse survivors to secure their digital lives through Operation Safe Escape. * Developing, maintaining and supporting the Trace Labs OSINT VM * Hosting and producing the Trace Labs podcast, "Breadcrumbs" *Maintaining and developing several OSINT tools in Python I live and breathe in the hazy nexus of HR, Ops and Tech. I can work in all those spaces, communicate with everyone, share ideas and make everything run smoother. I can explain anything to anyone and more importantly I can make them actually absorb what I'm explaining. I can provide amazing support because I have a fundamental understanding of how systems and processes all fit together.
