Cybersecurity, Anti-Abuse, Community Management & Moderation.

Working tirelessly to make the internet safer

In the social-media era we need more tools to keep ourselves safe from attacks online, where we would use an antivirus to protect our computers, we should do the same to protect social media. I set out to create targeted cybersecurity services like Crosslink to help keep end users and communities safe without relying on the high turnaround for platform-wide anti-abuse.

 

I also have deep roots in community management & social media management. Gaining early experience with content creator communities gave me incredibly valuable insight into brand safety, platform responsibility & careful conduct. Fostering a healthy community is multifaceted, requiring careful conduct, community incentives, exemplary leadership & safety for community members. I have extensive experience bringing all of these aspects into multitudes of different communities & topics.
