I'm an experienced IT professional at 1811Solutions with a background in both technical and sales roles. For the past seven years, I’ve specialized in corporate cybersecurity and now work independently as a consultant, while staying current with broader IT trends.
Because I sell my knowledge, I invest heavily in continuous learning and hold several cybersecurity certifications, including TCM Practical OSINT Research Professional (PJOR), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Master, NIST Cybersecurity Consultant, CompTIA PenTest+, Security+, CySA+, as well as Microsoft certifications (MCSE, MCSA) and others.

I regularly use Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for business and technical research related to my work. Additionally, I've participated in Trace Labs' "Search Party" Capture The Flag (CTF) events — competitive, gamified initiatives focused on locating real missing persons by analyzing their digital footprints. These events involve teams applying OSINT techniques to gather intelligence that may assist law enforcement in ongoing investigations.
