I work at the intersection of offensive security, secure backend engineering and technical education. My day-to-day moves between penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, building Python services that hold up under scrutiny, and teaching the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum to learners who are entering the field for the first time.
The through-line is practical capability. I design labs and simulations that mirror real incidents, then encode what works into tooling — automated network, web and endpoint assessment pipelines that feed structured findings into a prediction engine correlated against MITRE ATT&CK, CVE and CWE intelligence.
Alongside that, I run an emerging IoT and robotics track: embedded systems, sensors and edge devices built secure-by-design, used both as teaching hardware and as prototypes for community-facing solutions.

Three disciplines carry most of my production work: offensive assessment, secure backend engineering, and the automation that connects them.
01
I assess authorised network, web and endpoint environments end to end: reconnaissance, exposed-service discovery, exploitation paths and configuration weaknesses. Findings are documented against CVE and CWE references with clear remediation priority, then exported as structured JSON so the same assessment feeds automated correlation rather than dying in a PDF.
OFFENSIVE
02
Routing and switching, TCP/IP, VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS and continuous network monitoring — designed and taught to Cisco Networking Academy standard. I hold CCNA, Cisco DevNet, CyberOps, Network Security and Cloud Security certifications, and I build the lab topologies that make those concepts land for learners.
NETWORKING
03
My EDP platform ingests security datasets and correlates vulnerabilities against MITRE ATT&CK, CVE and CWE intelligence to model lateral-movement risk and predict next-stage attacker activity. The prediction engine turns raw structured findings into attack paths a defender can actually act on, presented through interactive visualisations.
AI SECURITY
Portfolio / 03
An AI-powered platform that ingests security datasets and predicts the attacker's next move by correlating findings against MITRE ATT&CK, CVE and CWE intelligence.

Recognition / 04
Four hackathon outings across EdTech, employment innovation, the Blue Economy and digital tourism.
1st Place
Built AI-powered education and cybersecurity concepts addressing real learning and security challenges, delivering a practical prototype and a clear pitch aligned to digital-skills impact.
1st Place
Designed a solution focused on employment and innovation challenges, demonstrating user-centred problem solving, teamwork and delivery under rapid timelines.
2nd Place
Presented a Blue Economy technology solution with real-world relevance, strong technical storytelling and a feasible implementation approach.
Participant
Contributed digital tourism innovation concepts, strengthening collaboration, adaptability and exploration of emerging technologies for community-facing solutions.
Solutions / 05
Assessment, engineering, training and prototyping — scoped and priced up front.
per engagement
From $650
Authorised assessment of your network, web application or endpoint estate, delivered as prioritised findings your team can act on this week.
per project
From $1,200
Python backends built defensible from the first commit: strict validation at the boundary, real identity handling, and a data layer designed for least privilege.
per cohort
From $400
Cisco-standard, lab-first instruction for teams, schools and community programmes — from security awareness through to CCNA and CyberOps preparation.
per prototype
From $500
Connected-device prototypes on Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, architected secure-by-design rather than hardened after the fact.
Connect / 06
Whether you need an authorised assessment, a defensible backend, or a team that can actually run the tooling afterwards — start with a conversation.
