    Hey all. I was laid off on Monday after the company I was working at experienced a major decline in sales, so I'm available immediately.

    I'm a full-stack developer who most recently spent 3.5 years at a data-driven marketing firm where I built internal software in JavaScript, C#, and SQL on a small team. I also ended up owning a lot of IT: Active Directory accounts, a phishing awareness guide for staff, troubleshooting, and coordinating with our data vendors. Over the last ~2 years, I have been self-studying penetration testing/security, which proved useful at my last role (managed to find and fix a few vulnerabilities in various codebases, including a file upload to XSS).

    Looking for Node/React or .NET roles, especially anything touching application security.
