About Me

Cybersecurity Engineer • IR Specialist • Cloud & AI Security Explorer

Hi, I’m Cameron — Cybersecurity Pro & Lifelong Learner

I’m a Tier-2/3 Cybersecurity Engineer working in Incident Response for a children’s hospital.
For the past 7+ years, I’ve focused on protecting critical infrastructure from constantly evolving threats — and I’m obsessed with learning what comes next.

What I Do

  • IR investigation and threat containment
  • Malware analysis & adversary behavior research
  • SOC automation using SOAR & SIEM (Splunk)
  • Vulnerability and risk remediation
  • Endpoint and identity security hardening

At the end of the day, my purpose is to protect people who depend on us, especially in clinical environments where security can save lives.

Where I’m Going

AI is transforming the security landscape — fast.
So I’m expanding into:

  • Cloud Security (Azure / AWS)
  • AI/ML-assisted defense
  • Threat-based automated response and detection
  • Advanced Splunk development

Anything that ensures defenders stay ahead of attackers.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is my learning out loud space — documenting:

  • My Cloud & AI security upskilling journey
  • Hands-on security projects
  • Cert experiences (good, bad, painful)
  • Opinions on our industry’s future
  • TTRPG worlds I build with friends (because we all need hobbies 🤓)

If you’re on a similar journey, I hope you’ll find useful insights — or at least a laugh.

Outside the SOC

  • Proud husband & dad
  • Vegan-ish experimental cook
  • TTRPG designer + forever GM
  • Dog wrangler 🐶🐶

Thanks for stopping by — feel free to reach out and connect!
