I particularly enjoy helping people develop their careers, whether they're entering IT, moving into cybersecurity, or building on existing technical experience.

???? Byte-Sized Tech
I'm also the founder of Byte-Sized Tech, a technology media platform where I break down AI, cybersecurity, emerging technology, careers and technology news in plain English.
