Who I Am
After failing to make a living as a photographer, I pivoted toward a career in IT and cybersecurity — a natural step, as I’ve always been drawn to technology. The journey has been both rewarding and challenging.
Certifications
Over the past five years, I’ve earned several industry certifications:
- CompTIA A+ – foundational IT knowledge
- Cisco CyberOps Associate – SOC operations and security monitoring
- CCNA – routing, switching, and network fundamentals
- CISSP – security architecture, risk management, and governance
- OSCP (in progress) – hands-on offensive security and penetration testing
What I Do
My career spans roles across IT support, GRC, information security and pentesting. I’ve worked in environments ranging from small businesses to large enterprises, and I bring a builder’s mindset to security – understanding the infrastructure makes me better at defending it.
Current focus areas:
- Penetration testing and offensive security
- AI and social engineering
- Homelab experimentation and continuous learning
