Listen "AOL History from the people that lived it (part3) - Erci Stern"
Episode Synopsis
Erci Stern (from parts one and two) tells us her origin story. We review in depth how she battled users that were uploading Warez on a customer's Anonymous FTP site and also hear a funny story about Slingo. She takes us through her entire career at AOL where she started in Site Reliability (Systems Administration/Operations), moving to Information Security/QA, and then went into project management. We also cover her life after AOL where she went back to System Administration and has been a champion of security along the way throughout her career. Other topics include Configuration Management, Security Certifications, passion projects, etc.. Erici also shares with us her experience mentoring at "Girls who Code" and advice for girls that want to go into IT.
