Cybersecurity
Ethical hacking, security analysis, information assurance, cloud computing, server administration, and networking.
Teaching and program work
Teaching
I teach cybersecurity and computer science, build programs, and translate technical material for students at different stages.
Approach
Technical depth with a clear path into the work
I want students to understand why a control works, where it can fail, and how to test it. Labs and scenarios matter because security cannot be learned only as vocabulary.
Program development
Cybersecurity degrees and credentials, online cyber range access, employer relationships, recruitment, and retention.
AI instruction
AI concepts, machine learning models, expert systems, ethics, risk, and performance-based labs for students in the United States and abroad.
