About

Welcome

Hello, I’m Ryan Kozak and I’m an offensive security engineer. This is my blog, and sometimes I’ll post things. I don’t want it to be too formal. If you’d like to talk to me you can send me an email via the little icon on my menu.

I’m an avid Linux user and an advocate for FOSS. Currently I work for some tech comapny that you can see clearly listed on my LinkedIn. In times past I’ve worked in vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and as a full stack developer.

I moved to Northern California in December of 2013, and with the exception of a brief few years living in Memphis, I spent most of my childhood on the Central Coast of California in a little town called Santa Maria. From of 2021-2025 I was the co-lead OWASP Sacramento chapter, which was a very rewarding and challenging experience.

Outside of computers I love riding my motorcycles (Motocross and ADV), flying small airplanes, cooking, traveling, or getting out into the mountains.
