Application


Was contacted for this via LinkedIn based on my profile. In case you are wondering what that profile was, here it is.

Riyaz Rafi Ahmed - Security & DevSecOps Engineer - Hippo Video: Video Experience Platform for Businesses | LinkedIn

When opportunity knocks, only an idiot turns it away.

Interview


There was no interview. Had some calls to discuss the terms and conditions and how to structure the course. That's it.

Learning Experience


This is more of me teaching what I know via a course. So yeah, had a good experience teaching concepts and recording myself.

The number of times I had to re-do the recordings due to some small mistakes is insane. Huge respect to those who have created courses online.

In case you did not know, I am diagnosed with a speech disability since childhood which makes me stammer/stutter in certain letters. This makes it hard to speak because I do not have voluntary control over my speech but even then, I'm making videos and giving a lot of talks at colleges. If I'm talking to you and you hear me stutter, kindly do excuse me.

If I'm able to be a speaker, give over 10 talks at reputed institutions and even create a course on security despite having a hard-hitting verbal disability, what's stopping you from doing the same?

Can't really reveal much due to the agreement but had a good time teaching and re-visiting the basics of ruby security.
