This is my living security and privacy journal.

Welcome to my security and privacy journal

This is a timeline of my journey within security and privacy —certifications, small projects, things I’ve learned.


Not polished case studies—battle scars, progress, receipts.

WHY

As a designer and engineer I want the solutions I build to be trusted, stable, and safe from the start.


Through this journal I explore creating tools and systems that are both usable, trustworthy, and compliant.
