My expertise extends to integrating various log sources, including Duo and Azure cloud logs, ensuring comprehensive and effective security measures.

With a strong background in ethical hacking and cybersecurity, I've dedicated my career to helping organizations enhance their security posture through innovative and effective log management strategies. I have a passion for leveraging open-source software to create flexible and cost-effective security solutions, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning and knowledge sharing.

I'm a passionate advocate for open-source software, emphasizing the importance of community-driven tools in building robust and cost-effective security solutions. My work embodies a dedication to continuous learning and sharing knowledge.
