I'm an Automation Engineer, OT Security Consultant, industrial cybersecurity researcher, conference speaker, and Founder of FOXGRID Industrial.
For more than 20 years I've worked with industrial control systems—from troubleshooting production lines and commissioning automation systems to researching vulnerabilities in embedded devices and industrial remote access gateways.
Today I divide my time between helping organizations secure Operational Technology (OT) environments and conducting independent research on industrial hardware, firmware, and communication protocols. My research has contributed to coordinated vulnerability disclosures affecting industrial products and is regularly presented at international conferences, including CyberTek Tech Festival, OT Security Forum, and BSides.
I founded FOXGRID Industrial because I saw the same challenge everywhere: engineers were expected to secure industrial systems without ever having the opportunity to safely experiment with them.
Most OT security education explains concepts. FOXGRID lets you experience them. Everything I teach is built around realistic industrial labs, practical experiments, and real-world case studies covering:
- Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
- Operational Technology (OT) Security
- PLC Security
- Industrial Protocols
- Embedded Device Security
- Firmware Analysis
- Hardware Hacking
- Industrial Penetration Testing
- Responsible Disclosure
I believe one principle above all others:
You cannot defend industrial systems if you do not understand how they are attacked.
That's the philosophy behind every article I write and every FOXGRID training I build.
Here you'll find practical write-ups on vulnerability research, reverse engineering, firmware analysis, industrial networking, and hands-on OT security—written by an engineer, for engineers.
