Hi, I'm Jack, the owner of Cybersecurity Jobs List, and co-founder of Himalayas (himalayas.app) and Cavuno (cavuno.com). Across all my platforms, I work with application security daily: dependency vulnerability scanning, secure authentication, API security, and data protection across hundreds of thousands of users. My technical background is in computer science (UNSW), where he studied security engineering and computer networks, and worked as a research assistant on VR experiments that were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. I also work with cybersecurity hiring data every day, tracking which companies are posting, what certifications actually appear in listings, how salaries differ by sub-discipline and clearance level, and where the talent gaps are widest. That combination of security practice, engineering at scale, and daily immersion in the hiring data is what shapes the content on this site. I'm currently based in Sydney, Australia.
