Cyber blue team leader by day, tinkerer/hacker at night. Designing secure systems and traveling the world is what I like. Unfair, harsh, inconsiderate behavior is what I don't like.

On the web I'm mostly known for having created two mastodon instances (ioc.exchange & sfba.social). IRL I'm a father of two amazing children and work in #infosec. I have a history with open source, and am passionate about #decentralization (the one without the crypto). I have been into soccer since the age of 5 - I'm still playing in meat-space and in cyberspace.

In 2022 I gave a public talk at NolaCon in New Orleans, the slides are available here.

One of my hobbies is to play soccer, another one is trying out #linux distros. As a way of giving back to the FOSS community, I run two Mastodon instances: https://ioc.exchange and https://sfba.social

I especially dislike business models that rely on the sales of personal information. When I was studying the impact of computer science and the Internet on human societies in college back in the early 2000's, I was doubting that anyone will ever want to give away their info in return for free services. History has taught me otherwise.
