About me

Twenty years in the engine room

I’ve spent more than twenty years working in IT, networking and security, most of it across distributed, multi-site environments with large device fleets, many users and constant change. I’ve built networks, managed identities and devices, monitored security alerts and worked through the day-to-day incidents that decide whether an organization is actually secure.

What that taught me is that most security problems aren’t technical. They come from decisions nobody owns: who should have access, which tools are allowed, what happens when someone leaves, who to call when something goes wrong. I started ProCiber to be the person who owns those decisions for organizations that don’t have a security team of their own.

I grew up in South Africa and spent years leading overland expeditions across Africa and South America before technology became my full-time work. Long routes in remote places teach you that preparation beats heroics. That’s most of what good security is. Today I’m based in southern Chile, working with clients in the United States and Chile, in English and Spanish.
