Summer "crazian" Lee

With 15 years in tech—12 of those deep in cybersecurity—I’ve spent my career as a red teamer, pentester, and social engineer. As a U.S. Army veteran, I’ve carried discipline into the field, testing systems and human defenses alike. Beyond breaking in (with permission!), I mentor aspiring cybersecurity professionals, helping shape the next generation. I’ve delivered talks across the globe, from breaking down security threats to inspiring others to ethically hack their way to success. Whether it’s systems or people, I’m here to test it—and teach it.
