A short, honest intro to the five tracks I work across — cybersecurity, AI, and the data stack. One foundational lesson each, sent to your inbox.
- ✓Lesson 1 · Cybersecurity — how attackers actually pick their targets
- ✓Lesson 2 · AI & ML — what's real and what's hype for builders
- ✓Lesson 3 · Data engineering — pipelines, the unsexy backbone of everything
- ✓Lesson 4 · Network security — defending the wire, end to end
- ✓Lesson 5 · Data analytics — good questions, dashboards, and storytelling
10 fields. One curriculum.
What you'll learn
A practitioner's map of cybersecurity — the 10 fields you actually need to know to land and grow in a real job.
Security Operations (SOC)
Triage alerts, run playbooks, hand off incidents like a real analyst.
Cloud Security
AWS / Azure / GCP — IAM, misconfigurations, posture management.
Penetration Testing
Recon, vuln discovery, web app testing, methodical reporting.
Incident Response
Timelines, containment, evidence, communications under pressure.
SIEM / EDR / XDR
Splunk, ELK, modern endpoint tooling — detection from the inside.
DevSecOps
Shifting security left — CI/CD, IaC scanning, secrets, supply chain.
Identity & Access (IAM)
How identity actually breaks: SSO, OIDC, OAuth, privilege escalation.
GRC & Compliance
ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST — frameworks that map to real engineering.
AI Security
Prompt injection, model abuse, data exfil through LLMs, OWASP for AI.
Detection Engineering
Writing detections that catch attackers — not just generate noise.
Cyber Foundations — Cohort #1

Draft curriculum — Cohort #1 (12 weeks)
Subject to refinement with the cohort. Topics drawn from 14 years of real field work.
- Week 1Attack surface mapping — OSINT and reconnaissance with Shodan, Maltego, theHarvester
- Week 2Network fundamentals and scanning — reading network topology, Nmap, Wireshark basics
- Week 3Vulnerability scanning — OpenVAS, Nessus basics, reading CVE and CVSS scores
- Week 4Web application security — OWASP Top 10, Burp Suite community edition, manual testing basics
- Week 5Authentication and access control — how auth flows break, session hijacking concepts, MFA analysis
- Week 6Incident response fundamentals — what IR actually looks like, timelines, containment, communication
- Week 7Log analysis and SIEM basics — reading logs like a defender, Splunk/ELK intro, spotting anomalies
- Week 8Email security deep dive — DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, real-world phishing analysis
- Week 9Cloud security basics — AWS/GCP/Azure security fundamentals, IAM, misconfigurations
- Week 10Social engineering and phishing — how attackers think, pretexting, awareness training design
- Week 11Capstone project work — building your chosen security project with weekly feedback
- Week 12Capstone presentations, career strategy, next steps and certificate of completion
Curriculum evolves with the cohort. If there's a topic you need covered, bring it to Week 1 — we'll work it in.
How it works
Small group. Honest teaching. Hands-on the whole way through.
01
Join the waitlist
Free. I'll personally email you when seats open with all the details.
02
Learn alongside the cohort
2 live sessions/week (recorded). 1 weekly lab. Weekly check-ins. Small enough that I'll know your name.
03
Build a capstone
A real project you build alongside the cohort, with personal feedback from me each step.
04
Get your certificate
Receive a certificate of completion and a resume-ready portfolio project you can show employers.
A bit about me
Why learn with me.
14+ yrs
In cybersecurity, including time at AirAsia's InfoSec team
Indie
Building security products independently for the last several years
Open
Open-source contributions and tools shared with the field
Personal
Cohorts kept small enough that I review every learner's work
I teach what I'm actually working on. The labs and topics evolve with what's relevant in the field, not what's left over from a 2019 syllabus.

Frequently asked
Will this help me get a job?
That’s the whole point. The curriculum is built around the skills employers actually screen for — SOC workflows, log analysis, cloud security, IR, vuln management. You’ll finish with a capstone project you can show in interviews, a portfolio of weekly labs, and a clear career roadmap. I also do resume reviews and mock interviews if you take the 1:1 track.
How is this different from TryHackMe / YouTube / a Udemy course?
Free and pre-recorded resources are great — I use them too. The difference here is that you learn alongside a small group, with someone who's actually working in the field, who'll answer your questions and look at your work each week. It's slower, smaller, and more personal.
I have zero background. Will I keep up?
Cohort #1 is calibrated for beginners who are comfortable using a terminal. There's a short pre-work module before week 1 to get everyone level. If it doesn't feel like the right fit after the first couple of weeks, just say so and we'll figure it out together.
How much does it cost?
I'll share pricing privately when seats open — it's intentionally affordable, especially for students and career-switchers. Join the waitlist and I'll personally email you the details.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. 100% refund within the first 14 days, no questions asked. After that, we'll work out something fair if you need to step away.
Will recordings be available?
Every live session is recorded and posted within 24 hours. Lifetime access — you can rewatch anytime as an alumnus.
Do you offer scholarships?
A few scholarship seats are reserved each cohort for people who genuinely need them. Mention it in the waitlist form and I'll be in touch.
