About Cj C.

I’m a cyber security professional that lives at the intersection of hands-on defense and teaching others how to stay secure. As a security analyst, I’ve tackled real-world threats, investigated incidents, and helped protect what matters most. As an educator, I’ve broken down complex cybersecurity topics to help learners grow into confident, capable defenders.Whether I’m digging into logs or leading a class, I want to help make security approachable, practical, and people-focused. In order to create a safer and more enjoyable tech world, it’s got to start by sharing my knowledge with others.
