About

Hello, fellow tech explorer! Welcome to The Node Weaver.

I’m Kristie, a network security engineer based in Los Angeles (yay for edge defense!). By day and often by night, I’m deep in the trenches of networking, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and certifications. In my spare time, you’ll usually find me doing yoga, playing with my dog, or spending time by any body of water I can find.

I created this blog to share my real-world tech journey on the infrastructure side of technology — the things I’m passionate about: big-picture architecture, systems design and flow, root-cause troubleshooting, and the technologies I work with every day. I’m also starting to dabble in AI. Alongside the technical content, I love weaving in thoughtful reflections on how technology mirrors and shapes consciousness, human connection, and emergent intelligence.

Thanks for stopping by — I’d love to connect and chat if any of these topics resonate with you.
