My Passion

Two decades of breaking and fixing things, driven by a passion to make the digital world safer for everyone

Problem Solver at Heart

For over 20 years, I've been driven by one core passion: understanding how things break so we can build them stronger. What began as a curiosity for hacking and uncovering system flaws has evolved into a mission to make the digital world safer and more resilient.

My true motivation isn't about selling services — it's about solving meaningful problems. Whether helping a small business uncover hidden risks or guiding a global organization through AI adoption, my focus is always on creating real impact.

Through books, articles, and countless conversations, I share what I’ve learned from decades of breaking, building, and improving systems. Because by understanding failure, we pave the way for lasting success.

Giving Back Through Education

I believe education should be accessible to everyone. That's why I donate the royalties from my books to support underprivileged children who cannot afford education. Every book sold helps create opportunities for young minds to learn and grow.

Mindfulness & Balance

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, I find balance through yoga and meditation. These practices help me maintain clarity and focus, bringing a calm, centered approach to solving complex security challenges.

Building Community

Beyond technical expertise, I'm passionate about building a community of security professionals who share knowledge freely. Whether through mentoring, writing, or speaking, I believe in lifting others as we climb.

My Philosophy

"The best way to secure something is to first understand how it can be broken. Twenty years of breaking and fixing has taught me that security isn't about perfect systems - it's about understanding failure and building resilience."
