    Today was my last day going to the office at Intel (I will still be available for my team til the end of the month). Soon I will talk about the next steps! Sad to leave the amazing @IntelSTORMTeam behind, but excited with the new challenges ahead.

    Today was my last day. Spent the entire day meeting folks and mostly saying good byes (I gave notice a while ago so everything project-related was already properly transferred). While it was an overall sad day, I am super thrilled that I'm starting monday at Google!

    Today is my birthday and I was reflecting on my 26 years career in infosec. One of the things that I am most proud in my life, not only in my career, is that I collaborated with people for years, decades even. Cross company, cross social statuses, cross any other fake barrier. I

    So, after a lot of problems, delays and overall expectation, I've got my green card today! (this time, the actual card is really in my hands, not just approved - for those who do not know: after it got approved, it took many months full of problems to finally receive it).

    It is with mixed feelings that I say that this coming week will be my last one with AWS (after a bit longer than 2 years). I've made real friends, worked on amazing challenges and with outstanding engineers. I start the next week on my new journey!

    A while ago I've given a talk on how to build exceptional security research teams: github.com/rrbranco/Prese… - I continue convinced that is all that is needed. The adage "Great people leave managers, not companies" continues to be true.

    We (AWS) are looking for folks interested in low-level software devel positions. Specifically in enabling security features at platform-level (experience with BIOS, TPM, secureboot and related tech is a plus). C/C++/Asm (x86 and/or arm) is a must. Reach out in priv8 to discuss
