Ever since I was old enough to use a computer I have always been profoundly curious as to how they work. Now as a professional engineer my curiosity still drives me to continue hacking and tinkering every day. Learning more is, and always has been, my top priority. I always want to find myself in a situation where I am able to challenge myself and push the limits of what I am capable of. Since 2015 I have been working to become an expert in all things cyber-security related. I attend conferences every year and learn about hacking hardware and software at home in my free time. The goal for my career is to stop real world bad guys. Our mission statement at Raytheon Cyber Threat Operations Center is to "Ruin a hackers day, every day" and I take that to heart.
