## About

Hi, I got into cybersecurity by doing things, watching John Hammond and trying to break things, and also figuring out why they broke\. I learn better hands\-on than through theory, so most of what I know came from labs, CTFs, internships, fictional org's audit and just messing around on my own until something worked \(or didn't\)\. Right now I'm a Jr\. Analyst in Compliance at QRC Assurances and Solutions, working across ISMS, PCI DSS, PIMS, AIMS, and DPDPA \(still under training, still learning the depth of it\)\. Before this, I interned at EY in GRC and audit\. Between the offensive side and the compliance side, I've ended up with a decent picture of how security actually gets built and governed, not just theorized about\. I'm also digging into ISO 19011 lately, since audit methodology is basically its own skill separate from knowing the controls themselves\. On the technical side: Nmap, Burp Suite, Gobuster, Hydra, John the Ripper, Metasploit, Wireshark, YARA, Shodan, Splunk, and enough Bash to be dangerous\. I stared at MITRE ATT&CK long enough to think in terms of least privilege, defense\-in\-depth, continuous monitoring, etc\. Outside of work, I make 3D art, mostly imaginary cityscapes that look almost real\. Had my work showcased in New York, Toronto, Seoul, and Bangalore\. I have also built a collection of Mixed Media artworks from artists across the globe\. Always down to talk, trade notes, or just nerd out about cyber security, or art\.
