With over 20 years of experience in technology, I've held various roles from CTO to Application Developer, and currently work as a contract systems engineer for Louis Vuitton. In addition to my tech experience, I spent two years documenting my search for the best tacos in Southern California.
I also host a daily Cybersecurity podcast called "Cybersecurity in 60 Seconds", where I summarize the hot Cybersecurity stories of the day.

Senior management team member for a prominent real estate franchisor with over 1,200 offices and 28,000 associates nationwide, I played a key role in driving strategic growth and operational efficiency.
