He also holds various industry certifications, such as Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) and GIAC Exploit Researcher and Advanced Penetration Tester (GXPN). He enjoys being able to protect his customers from “the real bad people” and his favorite aspects of security include artificial intelligence, hardware hacking, and red teaming.
