Outside work, I am a strong believe in the effecicacy and efficiency of OpenSource with minor contributions to the OpenWebUI community and a decently active GitHub with with most of my repositories being public (MIT/Apache Licensed).

I also contribute to the Threat Intelligence community via my role in leading the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance, Threat Hunting Presenations such as Beconimg the Predator and Not the Prey and Qbot: Can Ducks Teach us to Shre, research and content development such as Log4Shell Hunt and Sunburst Hunt.

In Cybersecurity, we don't have the luxury of time. Our work demands persistence, proactivity, and collaboration. I believe that you don't need to work at the same company to be on the same team.
