Network security engineer by day. Trail-chasing, cliff-jumping, paraglide-launching adventurer the rest of the time. This is everywhere the 9-to-5 doesn't reach.
By day, I'm a network security engineer — locking down systems, chasing threats, living inside dashboards and incident tickets. It pays the bills and it's genuinely interesting work. But it's not the whole story.
The rest of the time, I'm trying to be everywhere the signal doesn't reach: unexplored backroads, long bike rides with no destination, hikes that end somewhere with no Wi-Fi and a better view than any monitor. Football on weekends, pickleball when I can find a court, ultimate frisbee with whoever shows up.
Then there's the stuff that actually scares me a little — cliff jumping, paragliding, scuba diving, skiing on snow and water both. That fear is the whole point.
The mountains don't care about your deadlines.
Unexplored places, long drives, and bike rides with no fixed endpoint.
Skiing on snow and water, surfing, paragliding, scuba diving, cliff jumping.
Football, swimming, pickleball, badminton, ultimate frisbee, table tennis.
Network security by trade — the thing that funds everything above.
Forty feet of hesitation, then nothing but air and the Ganges underneath.
