About me
Over 28 years in IT and cybersecurity shaped how I think about building things, from hands on network engineering and consulting all the way up to running security programs. Today I lead information security at Wellfit Technologies, covering compliance, risk management, and the daily grind of keeping an organization secure. Recently I earned my AZ-900 and have been going deeper into cloud infrastructure, especially the places where cloud and security overlap. This site is one result of that curiosity, built by hand, one frustrating CSS rule at a time.
