I'm Adil, a sysadmin-turned-solutions-engineer who believes that curiosity, automation, and caffeine are the holy trinity of productivity.
I currently work as a Senior Solutions Engineer at Wiz, helping organizations across Canada secure their cloud environments -- from code to cloud. I'm passionate about making cloud security accessible, removing gatekeeping from the field, and turning complex security concepts into things people actually want to engage with.
When I'm not building labs or wrangling cloud risks, I'm probably creating something weird and wonderful -- like games, tools, or interactive demos that make learning security a little less boring.
- π Cloud Security -- CNAPP, CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AI-SPM, and everything Wiz
- βοΈ Automation & DevOps -- PowerShell, Bash, Terraform, GitHub Actions
- βοΈ Multi-Cloud Architecture -- AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid security patterns
- π‘οΈ Supply Chain & AppSec -- Artifact integrity, provenance, and pipeline security
- π¨ Creative Projects -- Blending tech with design, storytelling, and humor
- π QRCheck.ca -- A privacy-first QR code security scanner that helps protect you from phishing and scam redirects
- π ThreatDex -- APT threat actor intelligence as interactive trading cards -- browse, filter, and collect intel on the world's most dangerous cyber threat groups
- π― Cyberdle -- A Wordle-style game for cybersecurity acronyms
- β CNAPPuccino -- A hands-on cloud security lab "brewed for the cloud"
I'm active in the PowerShell, Cloud Security, and Canadian tech communities.
I co-founded the Pacific Northwest PowerShell User Group, co-hosted BridgeConf, and regularly speak at conferences on topics ranging from supply chain security to cross-cloud automation with PowerShell. You'll find me in PowerShell Slack and Discord, mentoring peers, or building content that makes security less of a black box.
If you're into building, breaking, or brewing (coffee or code), let's connect.
When I'm not scripting or securing things, I'm:
- ποΈ Snowboarding
- π¨ Designing logos, stickers, and icons
- π§ Turning neuroscience roots into security analogies nobody asked for
