Lots of the work is just me identifying problems that I see and trying to fix them. Most of it is just exploratory and can be stressful at times, but it's overall very rewarding. I just accepted an offer in the infosec field to get out of the stress and to, well, get out of a financial hole.
-Heck of a lot of FOIA requests to get the Chicago mayor's office's phone records.
-Went to a hackathon a couple months back and made a domestic violence shelter map which has since been taken over by a small team of volunteers.
-Got some wrongful parking tickets and started a project to map out Chicago's parking tickets using FOIA data.
-Started setting up a LAN party with some friends which we hope will have 160+ people.
-Freelance work here and there for some cash to help pay the bills.
-Found some security vulnerabilities that could have impacted comcast's network which I helped fix. Did the same with Northwestern, but they didn't fix it.
-Lots and lots of learning of random things.
