▸ SECURITY & PRIVACY

PARANOID BY DESIGN.
PROTECTED BY DEFAULT.

I live in the security and privacy world—tracking exploits, understanding attack vectors, and building defenses that actually work. Your digital assets deserve better than default configs and crossed fingers.

Threat Intelligence & Monitoring

We stay ahead of the curve—tracking CVEs, zero-days, and exploit trends so you don't have to.

Daily vulnerability scanning and patch management
Exploit database monitoring (NVD, MITRE, etc.)
Threat actor TTPs and emerging attack patterns
Security advisory alerts and impact assessment

Web Application Security

Harden your apps before attackers find the cracks. WAF, bot defense, and secure coding practices.

Web Application Firewall (WAF) tuning
OWASP Top 10 mitigation strategies
Input validation and XSS/CSRF protection
Security headers and CSP configuration

Infrastructure Hardening

Lock down servers, networks, and cloud environments with defense-in-depth principles.

SSH hardening and key-based authentication
Firewall rules and network segmentation
Least-privilege access control (IAM, RBAC)
Automated security updates and rollback plans

Privacy & Data Protection

Your data is valuable. We treat it like it is—encryption, anonymization, and minimal collection.

End-to-end encryption strategies
GDPR/CCPA compliance guidance
Data minimization and retention policies
Privacy-first analytics and tracking alternatives

PRIVACY ISN'T NEGOTIABLE

I'm a privacy advocate who understands exactly how we're being tracked—from browser fingerprinting to cross-site pixels. I design systems that respect users and protect client interests.

We don't track what we don't need. No bloated analytics, no surveillance capitalism.
Encryption at rest and in transit—because your data shouldn't be readable by anyone but you.
Open-source tools over black-box SaaS whenever possible. Transparency matters.
We audit third-party scripts and vendors. Every tracker is a liability.
Privacy isn't a feature—it's a right. We design with that in mind.

WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE

Security isn't just theory—it's understanding how attackers think and building defenses that hold up under pressure.

Offensive Knowledge

Understanding the attacker's mindset

Penetration testing methodologies
Exploit development and reverse engineering
Social engineering attack vectors
Red team tactics and adversary simulation

Defensive Strategy

Building resilient, monitored systems

Intrusion detection and response (IDS/IPS)
Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
Incident response and forensics
Security architecture and threat modeling

Compliance & Governance

Meeting standards without the bureaucracy

PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2 frameworks
Security policy development
Risk assessment and mitigation
Security awareness training

STAYING AHEAD OF THREATS

The cybersecurity landscape changes daily. New exploits drop, attack methods evolve, and what worked yesterday might be vulnerable tomorrow.

I actively monitor:

CVE databases and vulnerability disclosures
Security mailing lists and research communities
Exploit development and proof-of-concept releases
Threat intelligence feeds and dark web chatter

This isn't just about reading headlines—it's about understanding how attacks work, why they succeed, and what we can do to prevent them.

The result? Your infrastructure gets proactive security, not reactive panic. Patches before exploits go wild. Defense in depth, not hope and prayers.

Security is a journey, not a destination—and I'm here to guide yours.

THE HACKER'S PERSPECTIVE

To defend effectively, you need to think like the adversary. I've spent years understanding offensive tactics—not to cause harm, but to build better defenses.

I know what attackers look for: misconfigured S3 buckets, exposed .git directories, weak CORS policies, timing attacks on authentication, privilege escalation paths in web apps.

DEFENSE THAT HOLDS UP

Every system I build or audit gets the red team treatment: "What would I do if I wanted to compromise this?"

Then we fix it before the real attackers find it. Security by obscurity doesn't work. Proper architecture, monitoring, and response plans do.

READY TO TAKE SECURITY SERIOUSLY?

Whether you need a security audit, hardening consultation, or ongoing threat monitoring—let's talk about protecting what matters.
