About
My first technical role was upgrading a hospital from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. Since then I have enjoyed solving technical problems in over 50 countries as both a consultant and government employee, and somewhere along the way transitioned from System Administration to Cyber Security. I currently lead a team of Digital Forensics specialists.
