About Me

  • Virginia Beach, VA, USA

My IT career started around 2003, when I took on a minor role as a computer technician at my dad’s company. I’ve since worked for a number of large tech firms, both as an employee and as a freelancer/contractor.

In 2009, I started an  IT consulting  business to offer my expertise to other companies and continue to grow my skills and experience. Nowadays, I support over 100 clients across various platforms. My services are also utilized by several government agencies, specifically for assistance in investigating credit card fraud and other cyber crimes, obtaining PCI and other security compliance, and training teams on cyber forensics and security protocols. Not to mention of course, maintaining thousands of Linux servers across the globe.
