It started with an obsession — not with money, but with mastery.

I chased the kind of technical excellence you can’t learn in a classroom — only through late-night bug hunting, sleepless weekends tracing vulnerabilities, and the quiet thrill of outsmarting a machine that doesn’t care if you win.

Back then, I thought the frontier was digital. But as my business grew, and I had to trade the keyboard for conversations, I realized the real frontier was human. Building a company wasn’t about vulnerabilities and exploits anymore — it was about trust. About people. About the unpredictable terrain of leadership.

There’s a moment every hunter knows — when the trail goes cold, when you lose the track and have to slow down, breathe, and feel your way forward. Business and leadership are no different. The signs are there if you’re willing to look up from the scope, to see the whole landscape instead of just the target.

Cybersecurity and software engineering taught me how to find weaknesses in systems. Leadership taught me how to find strength in people. And hunting — in all its forms — taught me patience, awareness, and the value of presence.

Now I work with other leaders who realize the harder system to master isn’t digital. It’s human.
