Viruses are fascinating. I’ve studied both biological viruses and computer viruses throughout my career. I think there’s an interesting parallel between the two.

I’m always studying a new technique, tool or technology to learn how it works. My home lab is always changing.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and I’m self taught in IT and Infosec.

# echo work_experience

I’m an information security professional. I’ve worked in both the public and private sector to secure sensitive systems from external and internal threat actors. I’ve designed security programs and policies from the ground up, managed servers and networks and identified bugs through bug bounty programs.
