About

I've spent a decade in enterprise security watching companies spend millions on fancy tools while employees use "CompanyName2024!" as their password. So I analyzed 50,000+ real breached passwords to understand the actual problem. That research hit 355K+ views and taught me something important: security fails at the human layer, not the technology layer. Now I fix that. I'm the founder of SafePasswordGenerator.net, where I turn complex security concepts into practical habits anyone can follow. My background: 10+ years DevSecOps at Fortune 500 companies AWS certified, Master's in Information Systems Hands-on with Kubernetes, observability platforms, cloud infrastructure Published password security researcher I help individuals protect themselves and consult with organizations on authentication strategy. Currently writing about: password security, why "change your password every 90 days" is outdated advice, and what actually works against modern attacks. Connect if you care about security that isn't security theater.
