About Me

whoami

I am an aspiring cybersecurity student with experience in the army and a strong passion for coding, ethical hacking, and digital defense. Born in Finland and raised in New Zealand, I've developed adaptability, resilience, and leadership skills that shape my problem-solving approach. After returning to Finland to pursue my studies, I am focused on strengthening my technical expertise and growing into a cybersecurity professional who can lead, protect, and innovate. Outside of technology, I stay grounded through the outdoors—scuba diving, snowboarding, and sports fuel my drive to push my limits both physically and mentally.

Daniel was a solid team member and was employed with us for a year. He was hardworking, and brought a good attitude. He picked things up quickly, was easy to work with, and wasn’t afraid to take initiative when needed. He got along well with the whole team and was someone we could always count on to get the job done.
