Software Developers Journey #220 Tanya Janca from dev to PenTester to purple security expert
Tanja's story started in a computer science family in the 70s, where Tanja fell in love with computers. She spoke about programming in high school, coming out of college during the DotCom bubble, and learning best practices of software engineering she had never learned during her early self-studies. We then spoke about the role communities, and lunch&learn activities played in her career. She described how penetration testing and security slowly made their way into her life. Tanja explained how she discovered the OWASP community and embraced public speaking. And finally, we spoke about creating We Hack Purple, the effects of learning cybersecurity when you are a developer, and much more.
