About Me

Hi, I'm Matthew Charron.

My path into cybersecurity wasn’t a straight line — I’ve worked across agriculture, manufacturing, machine shops, warehouses, and retail. But throughout every role, one theme remained constant: I’ve always been drawn to work that challenges me, demands precision, and allows me to make a meaningful impact.

I’m deeply curious by nature. I enjoy solving problems, spotting inefficiencies, and finding better ways to approach technical challenges. I’m also someone who believes in lifting up those around me — whether in the workplace or at home as a father.

In my search for truly fulfilling work, I discovered cybersecurity and immediately felt at home. Penetration testing, in particular, spoke to me: the constant evolution, the high stakes, the need to think like an adversary to build stronger defenses. Every engagement is different. Every challenge is real. And the mission is clear — to protect people, businesses, and their most valuable assets from compromise.

This is the work I was meant to do.

Today, I’m building my skills through hands-on labs, red team simulations, and technical projects that blend offense and defense. Through MCHxSec, I aim not only to sharpen my own capabilities but to educate, share, and support the next wave of offensive defenders in the process.
