James Chad Olivier earned his degree in computer science in 1999 and has been in the information security sector over 20 years. His career has led him to some very interesting jobs, including reverse engineering voting machines, responding to some of the largest data breaches in history, and conducting security assessments and penetration tests for some very large clients. He is also a social engineer tester and has manipulated people into divulging sensitive information and allow him into secure facilities (he has never been stopped). He has given talks at security conferences and colleges, published articles in security trade magazines, and was featured in Baton Rouge Business Report (https://www.businessreport.com/business/shades-of-gray-hacker) and on WAFB News (http://www.wafb.com/story/32066601/fbi-baton-rouge-security-specialists-are-targeting-hackers).
