THE JOURNEY

"In music, a drummers soul purpose is to keep everyone groovin, and locked in. To provide a steady, dynamic structure end to end. I've carried that mindset into my 10+ years of software development..."

I've spent a decade building digital products for law firms, e-commerce giants, and small businesses. But as the web evolved, I found myself less interested in just how things were built, and more interested in how they could be broken—and subsequently hardened.

Transitioning into Cybersecurity was the logical next step. With my CompTIA Security+ certification, a cybersecurity bootcamp under my belt, and my background in software development (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, SQL, NODE.JS, NEXT.JS, SUPABASE, PYTHON, WORDPRESS, COSMIC JS), I bring a unique "Builder's Perspective" to the offensive security world.

Current Mission

When I'm not hunting for IDORs, XSS, SQL injection or refining my recon scripts, I'm likely working on a project to learn more from, like my recent 100-product e-commerce web application or practicing my drums or acoustic guitar. I believe the best security professionals are the ones who never stop being curious.
