About Me

Cybersecurity researcher, educator, and defender focused on practical security, adversary tradecraft, and hands-on learning.

I have been working in cybersecurity since 2015 and in the broader IT field since 2004. My experience spans incident response, threat hunting, adversary emulation, and detection engineering, with a strong focus on understanding attacker tradecraft and improving defensive visibility.

In addition to industry work, I teach cybersecurity and computer science courses at a community college in Northern Illinois, including network security and ethical hacking.

I am currently transitioning into a new chapter focused on independent research and content creation. My goal is to contribute back to the cybersecurity community through research, hands-on labs, technical breakdowns, and practical training.
