Hi, I'm Roy, I created Davis Tech Media to help people level up their digital skills. The previous iterations of this site had humble beginnings. The very first site was started when I was in college to blog about my interests and other fun stuff on the Internet. From there, the site turned into a portfolio site and eventually turned into the collection of professional and enthusiast interests you see now. I'm originally an IT person by trade but transitioned to Cyber Security in 2014. Stick around to see helpful solutions for up and coming pros, all the way up to enterprise level solutions.
