Arya
After graduating with a mechanical engineering degree, Arya quickly transitioned into cybersecurity, where she now leads the security team at a location data company. When she’s not tinkering with various electronics, software, or whatever odds and ends she fancies, you’ll find her moderating a few online communities and dabbling in music, photography, and voice acting. And if you ever find yourself in a storm while out in nature, you might just catch a glimpse of her walking among the trees.
