About Me

Background


OSCP+ certified penetration tester with 3+ years of professional experience conducting manual security assessments across web applications and APIs. Proven ability to identify and chain critical vulnerabilities — including remote code execution, privilege escalation, and authentication bypass — through combined static and dynamic analysis, delivering proof-of-concept exploits and remediation guidance development teams can act on. Professional background is rooted in web and API security, with OSCP+ validating hands-on exploitation skills across network infrastructure, Active Directory environments, and Linux/Windows privilege escalation through extensive lab work and HackTheBox practice.

Hobbies and Interests

I'm a huge nature enthusiast and spend a good amount of my free time exploring new trails or going to the park and running with my wife and dog. Chattanooga is an amazing city for this kind of lifestyle where we are able to explore nearly endless amounts of hiking trails filled with beautiful scenery right next to downtown where we find great spots to eat or drink with friends and family.

When the weather doesn't permit us to be out for long, or at all, I keep myself entertained inside by reading books on technology or space innovation, Chasing New Horizons as of lately which describes in stunning detail the New Horizon satellite that launched mid-2015 to explore Pluto and the Kepler belt. I also enjoy playing open-world or MMORGP video games such as Oldschool RuneScape and Skyrim.
