Cybersecurity consultant and computer-science professor. A career spent investigating cyber crime — and an equal amount making it fun to learn. Same energy for clients, classrooms, and a few hundred thousand views online.
This one actually works. Type help and poke around — it's the fastest way to see how I teach.
Practical, jargon-free security — and the skills to keep it that way — for small teams, schools, and growing businesses. I assess, fix, and teach so it sticks.
Vulnerability scans, config review, and a plain-English report that ranks exactly what to fix first.
Real-world attack simulation against your apps and network, with a remediation roadmap you can actually action.
Forensic analysis, containment, and recovery from a court-experienced examiner when something goes wrong.
Bespoke, hands-on curricula built around your team, your stack, and your goals — from security-awareness basics to deep technical labs.
Custom CTF competitions for teams, classrooms, and conferences — real-world attack scenarios that make the lessons actually stick.
Programs that get students into IT and cyber: approachable labs, mentorship, and a clear path from curious to career-ready.
Tell me what's keeping you up at night and we'll figure it out together. No jargon, no pressure — just a straight answer about what's worth doing first.
Robust technical training, the fun way — new tutorials and study halls added often on YouTube.
A few minutes inside how I teach — real tools, real stakes, zero fluff. Hit play, then come find me for office hours.

Type a password and watch it get cracked in real time — entropy meter, breach check, and the brutal truth about “P@ssw0rd1”.
A daily spot-the-phish game. Real emails vs. clever fakes — build a streak, share your score, sharpen your eye.
The engine behind my office-hours terminal — generates endless, never-repeating challenges across crypto, forensics & web.
