Founder

I am an electronics engineer with a passion for both analog and digital electronics. Originally, my passion for the analog side manifested as an audiophile and enthusiast about all electronics for high-end audio, whereas my passion for the digital side manifested as an embedded systems and later a computer security enthusiast. Fate had it that modern cybersecurity would leverage the analog-domain side of digital electronics — found my real passion in the world of embedded systems security!
