We trace a winding path from offshore rigs to elite red team ops and into subsea data centers, using one sewer-side breach as the spark for a new way to secure and scale compute. Along the way we unpack social engineering basics, the blue vs red culture clash, and whether AI is building features or changing outcomes.

• junk folders, platform fatigue, and curated personas 
• kids chasing influence and the low barrier to entry 
• leaving school early, offshore work, and non-linear careers 
• social engineering as ordinary behavior with intent 
• red team vs blue team dynamics and trust 
• the sewer break-in that birthed an idea 
• how subsea data centers plug into power and fiber 
• threat models at sea and nation-state realities 
• latency wins for gaming, streaming, fintech, telehealth 
• AI hype, thin moats, and the need for stack control
