I broke my first computer at nine years old. Then, I figured out how to fix it. And such is the story of my life. Seventeen years later I'm still breaking, fixing, building, and analyzing information systems. The main difference is now when I 'break' something, I'm (usually) doing it intentionally to figure out how it works and what it's flaws are.By hobby, I'm a security researcher- in the age of information, everything is accessible, and if it's accessible, it's vulnerable. I'm very passionate about identifying and learning about these vulnerabilities, as well as how to protect against them. My second passion is automation, and building pipelines that directly address real-world problems.My background is in system administration, programming, and IT operations. I love talking about pentesting, cybersecurity training, and essentially anything nerdy. Feel free to message me for a chat!All opinions are my own.
