Cybersecurity specialist, product manager, sw architect, web designer, science geek, and artist (among other things). Also a mom to two wonderful kids. Friends say - kind-hearted, sensitive, courageous, problem solver, fun, crazy mind full of heady ideas but ultimately a creator of beauty and new discovery. Forever in pursuit to learn new things (and sometimes talks too much about them). Debbie has a variety of interests that include tech gadgets, network science, cybernetics, neurosciences, theoretical physics, world history and religions, metaphysics, nonduality, painting, graphic arts, and 3D object making. Debbie started studying biomedical science and neurology in college, finally getting a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry with a minor in cognitive science/AI. Her interests at that time were in brain sciences that led to neural networks that then led to information/data systems. Thus her later graduate studies were in computer science and business. She started off the first 4 yrs. of her work life as a lab tech at NIH sequencing DNA, but found she could pay tuition better programming databases at the IMF. From there she abandoned her neurology/medical focus and grew into a programmer/architect in finance and cybersecurity. She now works in payment and financial fraud protection, privacy protection, and deep threat protection for cloud, apps, and networks. She is currently focused on the IAM space. Debbie is not a complete geek. Her husband and kids see her as a goofy soft squishy human. While nicknamed at home - mama pajama, Debbie is a playful nutcase of a non-traditional working mom (food delivery and daily in-home cleaner, etc). Debbie's teenage kids and animals all kindly put up with her in their cozy home in Austin, TX. Debbie spends her free time studying big existential questions in science, psychology, and philosophy (over home-roasted coffee) then code-switching to watch anime/cartoons and video games with her teenage kids (when they let her), hiking in the greenbelt every day, watching documentaries & comedy, doing art projects, gardening, caring for exotic plants, her dog & cat, and two teenagers.
