The arc

I've been a writer (nearly) my entire life. I was the kid who read the dictionary and thesaurus for fun and wrote chaptered novels when a short story was the assignment. Eventually my love of words shaped my career as a Security Specialist because documentation wasn't a maligned side task, it was my bread and butter.

For years, I translated deeply technical concepts into clear prose: passkeys, zero-knowledge architecture, the principle of least privilege, quantum threats to modern authentication. I became very good at making difficult concepts accessible.

Then I was promoted to Security Engineer.

Now I'm building the systems I used to explain. I write R, Markdown, and Go. I'm designing CI/CD pipelines and deploying on AWS. I think about authentication flows not just as a writer documenting them, but as an engineer responsible for them.

I live in Ontario, Canada with my son and our rescued bully, Sky.
