Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an Offensive Security Certified Professional and Certified Ethical Hacker with over 20 years of experience as an I.T. professional in cybersecurity, programming, and infrastructure. After hosting an in-person ethical hacking club geared for teens for several years, I decided to share my curriculum with an online audience. I can't wait to share my skills and passion for cybersecurity and ethical hacking with you. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and I look forward to sharing these valuable skills in a fun and interactive way. In my spare time, I try to advance my skills by practicing and creating Capture the Flags (CTF's) and online challenges. I have also written a few challenges of my own if you would like to try them.Reviews
