About Me
This blog is an effort to show the work I’m doing to improve my cyber security related skills with occasional diversions into related topics (and also an effort to force myself to document what I’m doing). Most posts will be focused on labs, machines, and activities I’ve undertaken.
My usual tag is sleepyblinky, which is the source for the domain name.
Who am I?
I’m a cyber security professional based in Canberra, Australia, with several years of experience in Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), complemented by exposure to blue team operations. While my professional background has focused on security governance, risk management, and assurance, I am actively developing my technical skills across a range of cyber security disciplines.
This website documents my practical learning journey and serves as a portfolio of the labs, projects, and research I undertake to build hands-on experience. It is intended to demonstrate my progression, problem-solving approach, and commitment to continuous learning.
My interests are fairly diverse, but my greatest interests are solving complex problems by breaking them down. I enjoy penetration testing and am trying to develop my vulnerability research skills. Feel free to reach out and start a conversation.
