MEET THE TEAM
Andy Vaca
Forward Deployed Engineer & Founder
I own projects from the whiteboard to the plant floor. Concept, architecture, real-world deployment, iterate, redeploy. Then I write the process down as something repeatable, so it can be trained or automated and doesn't depend on me being in the room.
The proof point: an automation engine that took an entire prepress department from a 20-person crew to four, designed and deployed in production rather than on a slide.
Twenty-seven years across industrial, retail, and leisure environments, on whatever platform the problem lived on: OT networks, point-of-sale, guest WiFi, mobile, desktop, cloud. Today that shows up as GRYHAT's vCISO, CMMC, and penetration-testing work for Orange County businesses, and as Citadel VPN & WiFi Security, the iOS and Android app that puts the same instincts in anyone's pocket.
In this market you have to be multifaceted, accommodating, and willing to pivot. Don't fall so in love with an idea that you can't let it go and it takes the whole ship down. Find what works, test it, run with it.
