What stands in the way becomes the way
Every obstacle in a system's defense is an opportunity. I specialize in finding and analyzing these obstacles, the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, to transform them into strengths and harden the target.
Testing defenses from an adversary's perspective reveals what documentation and assumptions miss. The flaws exist whether we find them or someone else does. Better to discover them under controlled conditions, understand why they matter, and fix them before they're exploited.
"The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are."
Marcus Aurelius, Emperor and Philosopher
