Technical Security Architect & Infrastructure Expert

About Me

As CTO and Co-Founder of Cyrex, I have spent the last decade helping shape the company’s technical direction, delivery standards and engineering culture. My background is rooted in application security, enterprise security and game security, with a strong focus on understanding complex systems at their deepest level. I have always been driven by reverse engineering, dissecting technical architectures and uncovering how systems really work so they can be secured, scaled and improved.

I specialize in game security, multiplayer architectures, networking protocols, cloud infrastructure and scalable systems. With deep experience across Unity, Unreal Engine, orchestration, cloud environments and high-load architectures, I help teams make the right technical decisions early and validate them under real-world conditions. At Cyrex, I lead our security and load testing engineering teams, ensuring we build strong technical solutions and consistently deliver the quality our clients expect. I also have a strong passion for AI and automation, continuously exploring how both can improve security, testing and engineering workflows.
