David Baker's passion for cybersecurity ignited at age 8 when he discovered a game hack through curiosity. With no mentors or resources, he pursued an honors degree in Computer Studies and a master's in Cybersecurity. His roles include IT positions at Flintshire County Council and as Head of Technology at Shropshire Council, where he emphasizes 'digital by choice' strategies to enhance service delivery and promote digital engagement. Baker's goal is to create accessible services for all residents while maintaining personal support for those needing it.
"I was hooked. Without internet access, IT books or mentors, Baker discovered his first hack through curiosity and experimentation alone."
"Something I champion in my role is the principle of becoming digital by choice' rather than digital by default. This approach allows technology to enhance the Council's service delivery."
