Who is Mayonaise?
When an entrepreneurial, tech-savvy exec with a knack for innovation dives into cybersecurity, an alter ego is born.
​
Mayonaise became my hacker persona and handle, turning hacking into a business adventure that felt straight out of a movie. Every cracked system and exposed vulnerability delivered the thrill of overcoming the odds.

I specialize in transforming complex challenges into streamlined, effective solutions that drive measurable results. By blending data-driven insights with creative strategies, I bring new perspectives to every project, ensuring sustained growth and resilience for the companies I work with.

"Jon is a rare talent. I’d describe him as mad-scientist-level-brilliant-data-analytics-meets-approachable-guy-next-door-with-southern-charm. That’s not a real word, but there’s no other way to explain where his deep expertise in data analysis comes from."

Shelley Colston
Life Partner | Beloved Wife
"Yeah, he's alright, I suppose. He finds bugs, breaks things, and somehow turns it into a business. Keeps him out of trouble... mostly."
