Hey there, I'm Jiva. I've spent the better part of two decades turning my interests in computer security into a full-fledged career. I went to school at the University of Georgia and obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science. I am also a member of the CTF teams SecDawgs and disekt. Check out my resume or my LinkedIn for a more complete list of professional accomplishments.
Outside of my day job, I moonlight a boutique offensive security consultancy business as a side-hustle. If you're interested in learning more about my services, head on over to jivasecurity.com.
When I'm not busy being professional, I enjoy...
- Traveling the globe with my wife
- Georgia Football
- Playing CTF with my team disekt
- SomaFM
- Owning f2p gibus noobs in TF2
