About

Hello world, I'm a novice hacker and active cloud security engineer. I plan on documenting my journey here as a Cybersecurity professional with advice, tips, and tutorials that I create to educate up and coming IT enthusiasts.

Video Description

If I could go back in time and learn cyber security, I would do a lot of things differently. If I could start over, I'd spend more time doing practical projects rather than focusing on theory. I would also prioritize learning a specific niche in the field and focusing on learning those skills. And above all, I'd adopt a better learning strategy for cyber security. Today, I walk you through an entire study plan to help you get into cyber security. I hope this guide inspires you to keep learning and continue your cyber security career. I'm over 30 years old, semi recent graduate working at a Fortune 500 company as a security analyst! Follow along for insights into the tech industry, all things cyber security, and what to expect as a recent-grad and remote cyber security engineer.
