Paul is a man of logic, a cybersecurity analyst who lives in a world of predictable code and bank-grade defense—until a brutal, random attack reveals a glitch in reality. When his girlfriend, Kat, disappears into the heart of a shadowy conspiracy, Paul must navigate a world of shifting allegiances and lethal secrets where the most dangerous variable isn't the technology, but the people who will kill to own it.

If / Else
Six months after burning his old life to the ground, Paul is a digital ghost living by a strict binary code: if an action risks discovery, don't do it. Now hiding in the rural quiet of Orange he is content to remain a shadow — until he encounters a girl and a conspiracy that his logic won't let him ignore. As the physical toll of the "Pause" begins to drain his body and his former pursuers close the distance, Finn must decide if his "if/else" survival strategy is a shield or a cage, and whether he’s willing to crash the system to find the truth.

Outside the day job I write, make videos, and translate the jargon-heavy world of cyber security into something anyone can understand — with the occasional analogy involving a pint.
