My name is Josh Rickard and I am a creator and automator of things. I'm an experienced IT & DFIR (Digital Forensics & Incident Response) professional that loves to automate and release open-source tools to help the Information Security community.
I like long walks through binary trees,
Python&PowerShellriding, writing romantic experiences about code, git prune all branches, and deep seaphishing.
I have written for many websites, but you can find most of my writing on my blog at letsautomate.it.
