In this episode, we catch up with Brendan Seerup, or sometimes better known as SparkleOps.

Brendan is currently a Senior Security Advisor at REA Group, but less than 5 years ago he was working as a Quality Assurance Manager. Brendan talks about how he always saw security as part of QA, hardware hacking and how he went from not presenting to speaking at six security cons in a year.

He gives practical advice for people with a similar background and talks about what the future looks like and how he can make an even bigger impact combining his skills and experience.
