Documented below are the guiding principles by which I approach how I work on, and write for shellsharks. These tenets are foundational across my site and are core to who I am as a human.
- My site is meant to be fun—for me, and for whomever comes here.
- So I purposefully imbue this site with an unapologetic whimsy.
- It’s a place to be uniquely me—my aesthetic, my writing style, my art, my topics.
- I don’t box myself in creatively. I am free to write across all genres. It’s been Infosec, Technology, and Life-in-general from the beginning.
- It is a place for me to learn, to teach, to “pay it forward”.
- I write with a beginners mindset. I want what I write to be a reference for myself and available to be consumed by all.
- Every page is a living document, I always reserve the right to change my mind, or add new content.
- It is a way for me to connect—to be a part of, and build community.
- Shellsharks is a central, canonical point of presence for myself on the web. I am shellsharks.
