Security talks for builders, business owners, and communities.
I speak about cybersecurity in a way that connects technical risk to real-world consequences. My talks are built for mixed audiences: engineers, business leaders, students, and people who need security to make sense without being buried in jargon.
I'm also an advocate for diversity in tech. The industry gets better when more people from different backgrounds have a seat at the table, and I try to contribute to that through speaking, mentoring, and showing up.
Talk topics
- Cloud security mistakes that create real incidents
- Detection engineering for small security teams
- Incident response lessons from real-world operations
- AI agents and the new security problems businesses are about to create
- Why small businesses need practical cybersecurity before they become targets
- The human side of security failures
- Diversity in tech and building inclusive engineering teams
- SCADA, water systems, and why critical infrastructure security matters
- How to break into security without pretending certifications are enough
