Creator of DirtyPhish

I created DirtyPhish after developing an interest in cybersecurity through running my online businesses.

That interest grew in 2024, when I began building web and mobile applications with AI tools. Working with Google Cloud Console introduced me to identity and access management, particularly how permissions determine who can access an application and its resources.

Since then, I have continued studying cybersecurity and applying what I learn to my businesses. My qualifications include CompTIA Security+ and Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals, earned through the AZ-900 exam.

Why I created DirtyPhish

DirtyPhish brings together my interest in cybersecurity and games. I wanted to share the subjects I research through something people could enjoy playing, alongside articles that explain the concepts in more detail.

The games range from stress-relieving beat ’em ups to quizzes and security decision challenges. They are intended for beginners, cybersecurity professionals and people who simply want to enjoy a game and perhaps learn something along the way.

How I prepare the material

I use AI tools to support research and content creation. I also discuss article ideas and technical questions with experienced cybersecurity professionals in my network. I remain responsible for what DirtyPhish publishes.
