About Me

I am a cybersecurity professional and entrepreneur with a strong focus in offensive security. I currently work on an internal red team as an operator but I have experience in both DoD and private sector cybersecurity work and have worked a large variety of missions in both sectors. I focus on red teaming and network penetration testing (internal and external) and have completed physical, wireless, network, and web application testing professionally.
