Hi! I’m Phil, a Cyber Security Expert with over 20 years of experience in “all the computer things”. . I have a strong background based in Infrastructure, programming, AI, data-center operations, and cyber security.
Professionally speaking - “I am a diligent and accomplished professional with proven expertise in digital forensics, information system management, malware reversing, threat detection, and threat hunting.”
What that means in real life is that I’ve been a hacker since I was like 13 and if it has a CPU and runs on power, I can build it, hack it, or program it. I code a ton, and it’s honestly my favorite thing to do, closely followed by Blue teaming, and third place goes to… a tie between Infrastructure and Red Teaming. Honestly, it’s a close match there.
Team leadership is one my most notable skills and I think of myself more as a teacher than a leader. I have built entire departments up from scratch, in some cases, trained everyone along the way, which I truly love doing.
I’ve created a few fun things over the years, most are for companies I’ve worked for, but here are some of the public things I’ve worked on:
I love what I do and often spend too much time in “computer world”. When I’m not hacking away on the keyboard, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. Many times I will unplug for the weekend to recharge my batteries on our Farm.
