While I enjoy working with electronics, computers, and the fields of information and cybersecurity, I believe our challenges as humans extend far beyond infosec—and even beyond technology itself. The real task, I would argue, is to discover solutions for unlimited clean energy, drinkable water, practical waste management and to address the root causes of hunger, war, and injustice on our beautiful little planet. Our primary goal—each of us—should be to keep Earth livable. That is the true challenge we face.
I focus on practical, results‑driven information security. My work centers on four principles: Learning as the foundation, knowledge as a control, originality as a differentiator, and results as the only real value.
My goal is simple: develop effective, realistic security practices that address the root causes of today’s most critical challenges. Everything I teach and implement is grounded in hands‑on experience and a global understanding of computer science and adversarial behavior.
