Cyber blue team leader by day, tinkerer and hacker at night. Designing secure systems and traveling the world is what I like. Unfair, harsh, inconsiderate behavior is what I don't.
I'm a father of two amazing children and I work in infosec. I have a history with open source, and I'm passionate about decentralization — the one without the crypto.
I've been into soccer since the age of 5, and I'm still playing, both in meat-space and in cyberspace. My other standing hobby is trying out Linux distros.
I especially dislike business models that rely on the sale of personal information. When I was studying the impact of computer science and the Internet on human societies in college back in the early 2000s, I doubted anyone would ever want to give away their info in return for free services. History has taught me otherwise.
