The person you hire to protect what matters most.

Most cybersecurity professionals understand systems. I understand why those systems matter to people — because for fifteen years, I was entrusted with what mattered most to my community as a pastor.

That same sense of responsibility drives my approach to security. I don't just find vulnerabilities — I understand the human cost of leaving them open.

Combined with 17+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience across satellite RF, fiber, microwave, HFC/DOCSIS, and data centers, I bring a rare combination: the technical depth to understand how systems break, and the judgment to know what's at stake when they do.

Now I'm channeling that foundation into offensive and defensive security — building in my home lab, earning credentials, and ready to protect your organization.

🛡
Trust by default
15 years of pastoral leadership means people trusted me with sensitive information, crises, and decisions that mattered. That culture of trust carries directly into security work.
🔧
Built, not studied
Running a full self-hosted homelab — Proxmox, Docker, Nginx, WireGuard VPN, Cloudflare DNS, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden — on a gigabit pipe. Real infrastructure, real decisions.
🎯
Breaker's mindset
Learning by dismantling — vsftpd exploits, SQL injection, WPScan brute force, reverse shells. Understanding how things break is how you build them better.

Infrastructure DNA
Satellite RF · Microwave towers · GPON/FTTH · HFC/DOCSIS · Nuclear facility (Palo Verde) · Cisco Enterprise. I've worked on the physical layer most security pros have only read about.

One name. Everything self-hosted.

All running under joeyraquel.com — built, managed, and secured by me.
