Uptime : 7y in cybersec
Role : Cybersecurity Engineer
Cybersecurity engineer at Allsafe Cybersecurity, where I protect some of the largest corporations in the world from threats they never see coming. I specialize in penetration testing, network defense, and vulnerability research. Most of my work happens in a terminal — I write custom tools, tear apart exploits, and harden infrastructure that other people assume is already secure. I believe security is not a product, it is a process. And I take that process seriously.
* Kali Linux is my daily driver — has been for years
* I have a mass mail server running in my apartment closet
* My fish is named Qwerty and he is a good listener
* I use ProtonMail and Signal exclusively — nothing else
* I route everything through Tor out of principle
* I have never had a social media account
* I once wiped a production server by accident on my first week at Allsafe
