One of the reasons I became interested in cybersecurity is my belief that privacy matters. In an increasingly digital world, it’s important to help individuals and organizations protect their data and use technology responsibly. I see cybersecurity as a field where innovation and ethics meet — where protecting privacy can go hand in hand with building secure, reliable systems.
For me, technology has always sparked curiosity — a desire to understand how things work, to build, to explore, and to learn through hands-on experimentation. What some call “hacking,” I’ve always seen as problem-solving, creativity, and the natural pursuit of knowledge. That mindset continues to guide me in how I approach engineering and cybersecurity.
I’ve been inspired by many pioneers who contributed to the digital landscape — from creators of foundational tools like Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman, to advocates for digital rights and transparency such as Aaron Swartz and Edward Snowden. I also admire those who pushed the boundaries of what a single person can build, like Terry A. Davis, whose technical achievements with TempleOS were remarkable. While I may not align with every view, I value the passion and innovation these individuals brought to the world of computing.
Open-source software has played a key role in my development as a technologist. It fosters collaboration, transparency, and a shared pursuit of progress. Thanks to this ecosystem — from Linux to public repositories — I’ve been able to learn, contribute, and grow alongside a global community that believes in open knowledge.
I’ve always been fascinated by retro computing and the early internet — not just for the aesthetics of green-on-black terminals or ASCII art, but for what they represented: a spirit of exploration, community, and learning by doing. That culture of shared discovery continues to influence how I approach technology today.
This page reflects the values and motivations that guide my work: building with care, learning continuously, and supporting responsible digital innovation. Cybersecurity, for me, is not just about protecting systems — it's about empowering people, earning trust, and contributing to a more resilient digital world.
