Hi. I'm Craig.
I've spent many years in education teaching, facilitating and leading digital transformation — assessing and implementing the platforms, policies, and people-programmes that make technology actually work in the real world. Now I'm deliberately expanding into cybersecurity and AI governance, and I'm documenting every step of it here.
This site is where I think out loud about homalabs, Hack The Box writeups and everything inbetween. It may not always be polished but that's to reflect my learning in this new space and that's by design.
Open to opportunities
Google Cybersecurity Cert
CompTIA Security+ — studying
Project Tiramisu — Phase 1 complete

Cutting my teeth with Proxmox
Installing Promox and overcoming installation difficulties
In chasing ELK - I found a little RAM
Choosing the stack: what to run and why everything changed
Why I stopped watching tutorials and built a lab instead
I was working toward completing the certifications, I had the notes, and the HackTheBox module write-ups. But I hadn't built anything. And so Project Tiramisu was powered up.
BaseJumping Tier 0
What I actually learned from working through HTB Tier 0 slowly and deliberately — patience, ego checks, and why enumeration matters more than the exploit.
HTB: Getting Started — Tier 0 (All 8 Machines)
Full writeup series: Meow, Fawn, Dancing, Redeemer, Explosion, Preignition, Mongod, and Synced. Enumeration, foothold, flags and what each one taught me.
Over the Wire — WarGames
Working through the OverTheWire Bandit wargame. A running document of what I'm figuring out, mostly in real time. This is for fun and updated when I can.
Stepping Stones
Where I come from: classroom teacher → EdTech director → digital transformation lead. And why I built this blog in raw HTML rather than just using a template.
