About

I’m a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer (CISSP), Linux nerd, ham radio operator, open-source builder, and content creator. I’m primarily self-taught. Most of what I know came from curiosity, building things in my homelab, and figuring out why they didn’t work.

My work spans identity and access management, endpoint security, security automation, zero trust, and cloud and network security. I also work with threat modeling, OSINT, telecom security, and SIEM/SOC tooling. That includes IAM, EDR, SOAR, ZTNA, and SASE, along with tools like pfSense, Suricata, Wazuh, and OpenSearch. I’m more than ready for a security architecture role, and that’s where I’m headed.

I run Linux on my desktops and servers, and my homelab is where a lot of my interests come together. It’s a production-style environment built partly from repurposed hardware, with a dual-GPU local AI box and self-hosted services including Mastodon, Matrix, and Pixelfed. Radio is part of that curiosity too, from software-defined radio to Meshtastic and LoRa. I care about end-to-end encryption, zero trust, owning my infrastructure, right to repair, and privacy rights.

In 2026, I spoke at BSides Dayton and COISSA. I also volunteer with the Call Center Village (opens in a new tab).

I share cybersecurity knowledge with more than 500K followers across platforms because I want more people to have access to it. Knowledge is power. Money is power. When you put knowledge behind a price tag, you help keep that power with the people who already have money. I have an ethical issue with that, so I open source a lot of my work and share what I learn.

PHP2Shell made me take another look at how I build for the web, and I wanted a site that was fast, light, and more secure, with a minimal attack surface. So I built it as a static site on Cloudflare Pages, with strict security headers and a small set of pinned scripts. The same drive shows up in my homelab and public repos, where I build and document the systems I want to understand. If I put this much work into my own homelab, you can probably guess what I bring when I work with you.

I am a content creator with over 500,000 followers across platforms, a Kick partner and a Twitch partner, and I work directly with TikTok in their educators program. I make tutorials, security breakdowns, and livestreams about Linux as a daily driver and production environment, cybersecurity investigations, and real-world threat and news breakdowns. I also cover radio and Meshtastic communications, mesh networking, endpoint security, enterprise tooling, home labs, and networking architecture. My content also includes device reviews, privacy tools, and open-source infrastructure.

You’re not dead until you stop learning. Happy hacking.
