  • From baker to Full-Stack Developer with Miwha Geschwind
    I met Miwha at a local meetup here in Denver, and we started talking about her job, how she got that job, and what led her down the path of web development. She told me that she used to have her own pastry baking business but a series of events led to her joining a coding boot camp, and then getting a full-time dev job soon after that. Then, as we were planning this episode, she announced that she had just landed yet another job! So for this episode, Miwha shares her story with us so that 1) if anyone listening is thinking of transitioning to the IT industry, they can see that it’s absolutely possible, and 2) so that we can get practical tips on how to land a job in the IT industry and in present times.

  • Public schools are being targeted by Cybercriminals

    In this episode, Eric Lankford and Doug Levin join us to shine a light on the disturbing and dangerous cyber threats academic institutions are facing. Cyberattacks are a significant and growing threat to our nation’s K-12 public schools, students, and employees. There were ~350 publicly disclosed cybersecurity incidents that impacted K-12 schools in 2019. They primarily consisted of data breaches resulting in unauthorized disclosures of student/staff data, ransomware and other malware attacks, phishing attacks, and other social engineering scams as well as denial-of-service attacks. With only 5% of surveyed IT teams feeling that student data is at high risk. <10% of the annual IT budgets allocated to keeping data, systems, and users safe online, more must be done to help these under-resourced and ill-prepared schools to protect our children and their identities online! These gentlemen share what they are doing to help and why, and how the rest of us can step up to help!
