Having graduated in sinology, I found tech as my place to be in 2009 and grew as a specialized generalist ever since. Building great products that deliver value together with great people motivates me and lets me thrive. As a security engineer, I'm now fully focusing on all things product security to help build more secure solutions. I'm committed to testing and quality, passionate about whole-team approaches to increase effectiveness and resilience, and enjoy experimenting and learning continuously.
Within my teams I often think of being the glue, as well as "the little burr under the saddle blanket that gets people thinking about changing and trying new things". (Thanks Lisa for this metaphor!)
Having received a lot from communities, I'm paying it forward by sharing my stories and learning in public. I blog here at lisihocke.com, speak at conferences and do what scares me to reinvent myself.
In my free time, I play indoor volleyball or delve into computer games and stories of all kinds.
Want to find me on social media? Just search for my handle "lisihocke". I'm in many places, yet most active on Mastodon: @lisihocke@mastodon.social.
