"Hi, I’m Matt, your guide to mastering cybersecurity, comp science, and multimedia production.

With a strong foundation in red team cybersecurity, I specialize in vulnerability identification, network scanning, scripting, encryption, and exploit development. My hands-on experience includes offensive and defensive security, focusing on real-world applications of tools/frameworks like:

Wireshark, Nmap, Netcat, Kali Linux, Arch Linux, Metasploit, Hydra, Mimikatz, Nikto, LinPEAS, and privilege escalation tactics using tools like Invoke-Phant0m and Timestomp. I also cover core computing and networking principles such as the OSI and TCP/IP models, CCNA-level networking, and CompTIA A+ fundamentals.

My sessions are designed to help learners not just memorize concepts—but truly understand and apply them. Whether you’re preparing for a certification, strengthening professional skills, or exploring cybersecurity for the first time, I’ll guide you through practical labs, system simulations, and exploit demonstrations that bring the material to life.

Beyond cybersecurity, I bring years of experience in multimedia production and visual effects, teaching Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Audition, Audacity, Maya, and Blender. I help students learn green screen setup, compositing, motion graphics, 3D modeling, and YouTube content optimization, blending creative design with technical precision.

As a U.S. Army combat veteran and Mensa member, I bring structure, discipline, and analytical rigor to every session. My approach is patient, adaptive, and results-driven, especially effective for adult learners and neurodivergent students seeking clarity and confidence in complex topics.

My rates are straightforward - hourly, rounded down to the nearest 15-minute increment, with no hidden fees or charges for prep work outside of sessions unless pre-agreed.

No matter your starting point, I’m here to help you build practical, lasting skills that empower your career and creative goals.

Let’s connect!

Matt" less...
