Hi, I’m the Tech Nerd

I have an obsession with technology!

Network Engineer turned Security Engineer

I started off my professional career as a Network Engineer building networks for several Hospitals.

I later found that hospitals were needing Security Engineers and I took the leap into a dual role Network/Security Engineer. My passion for Security grew and I moved full time into the Security field. Later I became a Manager of a Network Defense team building automated DDoS mitigation systems to protect our network. I then moved into an SRE position for a little while to round out my career a little more. Finally I after a few years I moved back into a manager position of a Threat Detection and Response team for a medium sized company.

IOT, Robotics, Electronics and more

I have always had an interest and passion for electronics and robotics, building several small robots. I made the leap into IOT as the home automation market was just getting started. I have spent many years working with several platforms and have finally overhauled everything with Home Assistant as the center of it all.

Technology

I have always had a passion for technology and engineering it’s what gets me up in the morning and I want to share that passion with other in the industry.
