// whoami
Cybersecurity practitioner based in South Florida. Red-team focused, perfectionist by default. I don't tell you something is secure unless I've tried to break it myself.
// bio
I started with Harvard's CS50 and never stopped. My track is offensive security — ethical hacking, penetration testing, and OSINT — with hands-on Kali Linux work behind everything I claim. I'm on the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 track and specializing further in Web3 and AI security, because that's where the attack surface is moving.
My ethos is simple and non-negotiable: zero mediocrity. I don't ship a report I wouldn't defend line by line. I don't make a claim I can't back with a tool, a number, or a working proof-of-concept. If I can't prove it, I don't say it.

// tools_of_trade
Not a marketing list. These are the tools I use on real engagements — and I can explain exactly what each one does and why.
// philosophy
Every finding comes with a working proof-of-concept. "This might be exploitable" is not a finding — it's a guess. I don't hand you guesses.
Your board and your engineers read different sections. I write both. No jargon where a sentence will do, no dumbing down where precision matters.
Ethical hacking means written permission. I require an authorization-to-test agreement for every engagement. The line between me and a criminal is that signature.
I keep the client list tight on purpose. You get my attention, not a junior's, and not a template with your logo pasted on top.
