My name is Richard Arellano and I'm a web hosting professional with a passion for information security.

I'm employed by a multinational computer software company as a Magento Support Engineer. My work experience has given me an in-depth knowledge of LAMP stack server administration and allowed me to dive deep into the world of web applications and their many vulnerabilities. This interest led me to create a capture-the-flag game that contains web application vulnerabilities which can be exploited using MySQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting.

I have a Master of Science in Information Security and I am Security+ certified by CompTIA. Throughout my education, I have excelled in Web Application Security, Security and Privacy in Information Systems, Advanced Computer Forensics, and Advanced IT Auditing. I have also volunteered as a Student Ambassador at Rio Hondo College, teaching students how to program in Java and C++.
