I run security for a living — offensive and defensive, end to end.

Day to day that means owning every IT and cybersecurity function at my company: I built the internal penetration testing program from scratch and run both the Red and Blue Team work that keeps the infrastructure honest. I don’t just write findings; I’m on the hook for fixing them too.

I came at this sideways. Electronic Engineering background, started in customer service, worked up through IT support, system administration, and IT management before security became the whole job. Somewhere along the way I picked up a MicroMasters in Cybersecurity from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and a stack of certs to back the hands-on work.

Outside the day job I hunt bugs — real targets, real reports, on HackerOne and Intigriti — because the fastest way to get better at breaking things is to keep breaking things.
