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.
When I'm not busy being professional, I enjoy...
