Hi, I’m Trae — a cybersecurity professional with a deep curiosity for how things work and how they break.
I specialize in digital forensics, incident response, and threat analysis, and I’ve spent the last few years helping protect high-net-worth individuals and executives from the threats most people never even hear about. Whether I’m triaging a phishing attempt, investigating a SIM swap, or reverse-engineering malware in my home lab, I bring precision, calm, and curiosity to every challenge.
When I’m not digging into logs or analyzing malicious files, I’m usually knee-deep in a Capture the Flag competition, building out my ESXi home lab, or brainstorming better ways to teach cybersecurity concepts to others.
My passion lies in protecting people — not just systems — and I'm always looking for new ways to grow, learn, and contribute to mission-driven security teams.
