Identity, access and security engineering.

I'm a systems administrator with a B.S. in Cybersecurity and Network Engineering. I focus on identity and access management, compliance auditing, and PKI and single sign-on.

Outside of work I run a home lab where I build security tools, break things on purpose, and write down what I learn. I like my systems documented, repeatable, and private with security design in mind. This website is my first experiment with public facing infrastructure.
