Portrait of Tyra Stratalis

SAURIAN · SECURITY · RISK

Tyra Stratalis

Massive. Protective. Green.

Security, risk, and preventable problems. I spend a lot of time finding the last one before it turns into an incident. I fix things, ask inconvenient questions, and have opinions about procedures that only work on paper.

THE SHORT VERSION

More useful than approachable.

I'm direct, difficult to rattle, and generally more interested in fixing a problem than discussing why it should have been somebody else's job. People I care about tend to get fed, checked on, and reminded that sleep is not optional.

PROFILE

Useful things to know before saying hi.

MESSAGE

You're allowed to just say hello. You do not need an opening statement, a business case, or a sufficiently interesting reason. If we share an interest, start there. If not, 'hi' is a valid protocol.

DREAM / GOAL

Find people and spaces where I can feel at home and simply be myself.

OLD SHIFT OPENER

Good morning crew, I'm today's Head of Security. I suggest you keep your noses clean, lest I crush your head like a sparrow's egg between my thighs.

Q&A

What do you do?

About 2.4 metres. Enough that standard furniture has opinions.
Can you lift me?
Probably. Ask before becoming a test case.

THE OTHER STUFF

Things that need specifications.

Most profile pages do not need vacuum-rated hardware. Mine apparently does.
