+about me
+This is me, Eric McWilliams (aka nugget)
+Hello and thanks for stopping by!
+First things first: my name is Eric McWilliams, but I usually go by my nickname: nugget. I was born in 1974 in Alabama, where I spent all of my childhood until I was 10ish, moved to Ohio, then made my way to California about 12/13ish for my high school years and the early 90s. In 1992 I joined the Marines and learned field radio communications and had a knack for communications that has taken me far in life.  I was stationed in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii and deployed around the world from there. I have a daughter that I love to death that keeps me busy needing rides to her different activities.

+//I find it pretty easy to avoid spam and bots just by requiring normal people to send a message with a predefined subject header.  So until the ML and bots learn this method I say game on...//
+Software developer
+My primary for the last couple of years has been Directing Cybersecurity and Infrastructure projects for companies built by [[wp>Henry_J._Kaiser|Henry J. Kaiser]] yes he built a lot of companies and I find myself trying to secure most of them.  I work on both big picture projects and day-to-day care and feeding/automation. For years people would ask me what my hobbies were and as much as I like boating, snowboarding, and being out in nature in general, I do really love technology.  It seems to make me satisfied at even simple projects like this wiki seems to call me.  I guess they said it best on Letterkenny {{:playground:lk_do_what_you_love.jpeg?nolink&400|}}
+My expertise is in network security (Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto I know them all), Unix-like operating systems, and Identity Access Management. Recently I have discovered the fun of building your own SD-WANs and saving a ton of money vs the old days of MPLS and other WAN technologies.  I dabble in some programing languages like Rust, Ruby (on Rails), and PHP when this wiki needs me to tweak things on the backend.  People will ask me "Eric if you don't like Microsoft so much why do you know so much about it?" to which I usually reply "Linux is my love but finding a job to secure Microsoft is easier."
+Before jumping into the tech I joined the United States Marine Corps as a field radio operator.  I have always like working with Radios or just any communications technology in general.  That 5 years was right in the middle of the 90s and while in the Marines I discovered Cisco AGS and IGS routers and well the rest is history.  A couple of years later I found myself working for Henry's Healthcare company installing some of the first firewalls on the market.  As much as I loved BGP, OSPF, and routing tricks the need for "network security" guys started taking over all of my time and 30 years later its still taking up my time.
+I have traveled the world and love meeting people and taking in other cultures.
+Am I available for hire and/or long-term freelance work? Maybe. Ask me. Sell me your project.
+Continue by reading my resume or visiting my LinkedIn profile...
+Blogging as time permits
+I enjoy writing essays on network security, running honey pot networks, and sharing OSINT with the cybersecurity communities out there.  I have owned this domain forever now and its been through all sorts of different formats.  These days I think I will keep it on dokuwiki and just focus on the content.
