About Me

I've spent the last 8 years in the construction world, and let me tell you, it's been a rollercoaster of teamwork, negotiations with insurance folks (think of it as a diplomatic mission), and calming down customers who just wanted their dream homes without the stress. I played security guard on the job site, not with a badge, but with a knack for keeping everything safe and sound. And privacy? That's my mantra – your home is your sanctuary, and I've made sure it stays that way. Now, picture this: from the times of the Intel 486, I've been hooked on the ever-changing world of technology. New programs, languages – I love the thrill of it all. Defending against cyber threats? It's like a high-stakes game I'm ready to play. So, I'm looking to bring my construction-tested skills and my passion for all things tech to a new playground. Let's make some digital waves together!
