I love everything tech and music related.

Over the years, I have worked with industries, universities, students and non-profits around the world. I love to build, create and design. I am a firm believer in foundational skills and knowledge. Tools are ever-changing and with the right foundation can be learned easily.

I am a life-long student, mentor and teacher at times, love anything technology related, always curious and eager to learn new things and always interested in music, travel, cars, bikes... and the list goes on and on.

I believe in tech literacy and experiential learning.

My story

Since my middle school years, I have been fortunate to be surrounded by mentors and a great learning environment at home, school and among peers and friends.

Because of these factors and my experiences, I am still learning by doing.

`Always curious to learn`

In the early years of school, I saw a movie based on Kevin Mitnick that built a different mindset towards technology. I figured I could learn things easily, with a special interest in reverse engineering. And I was fortunate to get a chance to talk to him for a few minutes 1-on-1 at DEFCON.

I studied for the CEH course and learned a variety of technologies, operating systems and networks. During the first semester of my master's, I realized I wouldn't be able to have career satisfaction in a cyber-security career in the US due to security clearance requirements (being a foreign national). I decided to pivot and help build products and services, mentor and teach, and help wherever I could, and I am still continuing to do so.

Most recently, I am intrigued by production using lights and lasers and controlling them using brainwaves.
