from Hacker to Creative Director and back
30 years in creative leadership (in the ad industry as a Creative Director) taught me one core skill: dissecting complex systems and finding the flaw before someone else does. My tech roots run back to 8-bit machine code on a C64 (yeah – 80s, baby!) Today, I’m combining that legacy hacker curiosity with modern threat detection and offensive security. BATTLE-TESTED LOGIC: Decades of high-pressure problem solving and systems analysis. HACKER MINDSET: I don't just follow playbooks; I reverse-engineer how the attack path actually works. CONTINOUS SKILL-UP: CompTIA Security+ certified (among other certs), building home labs, and constantly training for L1 ops to future Pentesting.
