I’ve spent 20 years building and securing cloud and network infrastructure for global enterprises.
Now, I'm teaching everything I've learned.
Cloud, Network & Security Architect | 20+ years | 30+ Certifications
Teaching over 35,000+ engineers how to get into Cybersecurity, Network Engineering/Security through courses, guides, and Tech with Gerard.
Hey, I'm Gerard. I've spent 20+ years deep in IT — architecture, security, networking, infrastructure — working with companies all over the world and breaking plenty of things along the way so you don't have to.
These days I'm based in Dublin, where I make videos that cut through the noise on cybersecurity, networking, cloud security, and building your own homelab.
My philosophy is simple: the best way to learn this stuff is to get your hands dirty, so that's what I try to help people do.
If you've got a project, a collab idea, or just want to talk shop, give me a shout — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
