By day, I'm a cybersecurity journalist. My beat is the digital front lines: breaking news on the latest mega-breach, deciphering new CVE disclosures, and trying to spot the real trends in all the vendor hype. I've worked with some brilliant folks at threat intel startups, and my specialty is cutting through the noise to give you a rapid, clear analysis of what a vulnerability actually means for you. On this portal, I'm your go-to for up-to-the-minute reports on critical incidents, cyberattacks, and those all-important security advisories. Consider me your early warning system. When I’m not glued to a terminal or a threat feed, you can probably find me: Tinkering with my home lab: My apartment is a graveyard of old routers and servers I've turned into a makeshift SOC. My smart fridge is, ironically, the most secure thing in my building. Trying to perfect a pour-over coffee: There's a zen-like focus to it that helps me decompress after a day of reading about threat actors. I swear the perfect brew helps me spot a zero-day faster. Browsing used bookstores: I have a weakness for dog-eared cyberpunk novels and vintage tech manuals. Something about the smell of old paper is the perfect antidote to a digital world. My quirk? I have an irrational hatred for the phrase "unprecedented attack." In this field, if you're paying attention, very little is truly unprecedented. I will probably edit it out of my first draft three times. Stick around. Let's make sense of this chaotic digital world together.
