Hailing from the North West of England, I am a father of two with a longstanding passion for computers, networking, and IT. Ever since I got my hands on my first computer in the mid-90s, I have been captivated by the inner workings of connected devices and the challenges involved in creating and securing them.
My professional background is originally in mechanical engineering, with a focus on automation. I’ve worked on projects ranging from natural gas production platforms in the North Sea to highly automated fast-moving consumer goods factories. Although my career began in engineering, my interest in security never waned. I have always made an effort to stay current with trends in the field during my spare time.
Recently, I decided to pursue my passion for security full time and have gratefully accepted a position with a fantastic company with a solid footprint in the cybersecurity landscape.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy delving into electronics and microcontrollers. In fact, I am the designer and inventor of a CO2 laser power meter built on the ATmega328P microcontroller. The device is designed for ultra-low power draw, with a single charge sustaining it for up to 10 years.
In terms of programming, I consider myself to be at an advanced level in Python. I often use this language to develop proof of concepts, tools, and experimental malware. You can find some of my projects on my GitHub page, where I showcase offensive tooling and proof of concepts.
The purpose of this blog is to document my development journey and share my knowledge and findings with the rest of the community. I hope that by sharing my experiences, I can contribute to the collective knowledge in the cybersecurity field and inspire others to explore their own interests and passions.
