I’m a security engineer working inside some of the largest networks figuring out how real-world systems break and how to make them resilient. I’ve always been drawn to understanding both sides of security—how attackers think and how we can build smarter, more robust defenses—especially around network access control and zero trust.

Lately, I’ve been diving into quantum-safe cryptography and what it means for the future of security, especially as we start thinking long-term about what we’re protecting and how. You can find me sneaking around at DEFCON as well as the local Denver OWASP and BSides communities.
