Breaking into AI security, my journey from DevOps to AI

Hello! My name is Steve, and I'm a DevOps engineer with a passion for security. I've been in the industry for around 15 years now, and I've seen a lot of changes. I've seen the rise of cloud computing, the adoption of DevOps practices, and the increasing importance of security. I've always dabbled in security, but I never really thought of it as a career path.

If I'm honest I have had some fear and anxiety around the LLMs and AI. I've seen the headlines, I've seen the hype, and I've seen the potential. I've also seen the risks, and I'm not sure how to navigate them. One thing is clear is that they're here to stay, and I need to find a way to move from fear to excitement.

I have always been a bit of a tinkerer and thought to myself, lets build some AI tools and use them to help me understand the space. What better way to move from fear to excitement than to build some tools and see what they can do?

What you'll find here

I plan to use this space to:

• Share my learnings and experiences as I navigate my way into the world of AI security
• Share my thoughts on the future of AI security
• Share open source projects and labs I'm working on
• Research deep dives into different strategies and techniques for securing LLMs and AI systems

I'm also going to try and post some of my more interesting projects here, so if you're interested in any of them, please let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Steve
