A Security Engineer who found his way to the field through an unconventional path. Started by taking apart computers, detoured through film school while specializing in VFX, and ultimately discovered my true calling in security. The creative problem-solving skills from visual effects translated perfectly into the security world, where thinking outside the box is essential.

I've always been driven by understanding how things work at their core. Whether it's disassembling hardware or breaking down software, I love both the analytical and creative aspects of security. Building AppSec automation tools combines my passion for taking things apart with my drive to build robust solutions.
