Currently working on OSCP Proving Grounds labs in anticipation of signing up for the course in a month or as soon as I have 30~ machines under my belt. Working on my Recon methodology and staying open minded while delving in rabbit holes.

I work in Hospitality and have great Customer Service approach, even mentored new hires for a bank I worked at way back. Passionate about learning, and making the world a better place.
Patron of the arts and born skeptic, I keep my stubbornness at bay with meditation.
