I'm a security researcher at Intel Corporation working on scalable software security, particularly fuzzing. Most recently, I created the fuzzer https://girhub.com/intel/tsffs to secure Windows and Linux kernel drivers and UEFI firmware, and have led its adoption across BUs. Previously, I have experience in vulnerability research and exploit development across userland and various OS kernels. My GitHub serves as portfolio at https://github.com/novafacing.
Looking forward to finding a new opportunity in the security space!

I use Deezer as a music service. It's $15/month for HiFi comparable to Tidal's HiFi subscription. Tidal, however, has DRM that does not allow it to play on Linux as a webapp nor does it have a Linux desktop app. Tidal's out. Now, here's the interesting thing: I never use Deezer to listen to music.
- I use Deemix Server (https://download.deemix.app/server/) to serve a webapp on my media server. This plugs into my Deezer account and I use it to download FLAC quality audio into my media server.
- My media server, of course, runs Plex (https://www.plex.tv/). I have a lifetime pass and it's totally worth it, but keep in mind it is required for this setup.
- Locally on my (phone|laptop|desktop) I use Plexamp (https://plexamp.com/). Plexamp is a beautiful high quality player with no bells and whistles but does one thing really well and that's play my music.
- Since this is all offline playing downloaded files, I use last.fm which plugs into both Deezer (https://blog.last.fm/2012/01/06/scrobble-with-deezer) and Plex (https://www.plex.tv/blog/plex-media-server-v0-9-12-5-a-tasty...) for recommendations, tracking listening, and connecting with friends. Honorable mention to MusicButler (musicbutler.io) which used to be free and simply notifies you of new releases for a "Release Radar" experience.
All this combines to be a less seamless but far better experience than using spotify.
