Summary

My background, while extensive, isn't traditional and believe me I know that. After years working for the Blue team (Cyber Security), I decided that is not enough. I wanted to find ways to contribute even more to organizations. This is why I jumped the fence and started studying and working for the Red team (Penetration testers), as this allows me to be a Purple team member. Now I can do a penetration test on your infrastructure, do an educational phishing attack against your employees, after that sit with the IT and IS teams and do the Vulnerability, Patch and SIE management and after that stand in front of the Board of Directors and translate all that them in a way they understand. A true cultural changer that can work with any part of your organisation. MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY The wolf has a thick neck, because he does his job on his own. Bulgarian proverb
