Blog
My thoughts and observations are shared on Substack. I write about projects I'm working on, random thoughts, Jiu-Jitsu, and other musings.
Podcast
Creator of the IntrusionsInDepth Podcast. I analyze cyber attacks and the threat actors that conduct them. If you enjoy technical detail alongside geo-politics, history, some conspiracy theories, and terrible jokes, you should give it a listen.
Career Advice
I often get asked how to get into tech or cybersecurity. Everyone's journey is different. Sometimes it's a yellow brick road, but most of the time it's Groundhog Day on the final stage of Ninja Warrior. Each day you get a little further. My friends at the Code and Culture Dispatch have captured my advice and the advice of others who are way more talented than myself.
Now
Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page — a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now.
- Working on a fiction project that I'm not ready to share publicly.
- Building a podcast episode around Anthropic's Mythos.

Much of the internet is bloated, filled with ads, and overly complex. I like simple.
