Who I am starts in the deserts of California… …not far from Edwards Air Force Base, many moons ago with parents who thought that all of Wisconsin was just like the Madison they knew and loved from their time at the University; they were very, very incorrect. After growing up in central Wisconsin, my desire to go out on my own took me, like my parents before me and my sister after me, to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. With computer science and development as my focus in school, my sights turned to infrastructure and security as I started Blizzardtech in the mid-1990’s to help physicians get office networks set up, build and maintain their PC’s, install medical billing systems and use the fledgeling (at the time) Internet and VPNs as a secure connections to their remote offices. https://danielayala.com/home daily 1.0 2023-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1643001955015-NRQDHSH9MJGWG4PA03WA/IMG_1188.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/f7852759-ba0a-404a-be59-a6aa2736d0c3/IMG_0679.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/56f5d8cb-2024-4e15-871b-eef64bdbcb0b/2E0A4763.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1687581705702-86MC6ELOX6ET2O820S1S/0255-CISOES%2BChicago_12.jpg https://danielayala.com/publications daily 0.75 2023-06-27 https://danielayala.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-06-27 https://danielayala.com/speaking daily 0.75 2026-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/6e967d75-bb91-41c7-9550-7827b6ae29f0/RMISC+%2723+-+DENVER+CO+by+Jim+Darling+Photo%2C+LLC.jpeg Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1687581426876-L2XEOXOHA5S3UOGDT87B/IMG_0084.jpg Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1687583386999-7WJHB2ELXJ7URIKNMBF9/IMG_1683.jpg Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/18668492-877d-4e47-96f4-f1b9603774c2/071-CISO-Detroit-2017.jpg Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1687581457145-23GB8TCI8H3NLLG3BMP7/0175-CISO_ES_DET_2016.jpg Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1687581705702-86MC6ELOX6ET2O820S1S/0255-CISOES%2BChicago_12.jpg Speaking https://danielayala.com/now daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/1748738971129-CN1HICPM8LMPOJJ7CR5L/unsplash-image-1Bn-xRNYk20.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/18668492-877d-4e47-96f4-f1b9603774c2/071-CISO-Detroit-2017.jpg https://danielayala.com/gallery daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://danielayala.com/gallery/landscapes monthly 0.5 2022-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/c9c24538-9822-45ae-ae9b-2f22b30a3a2e/DSC066001.jpg Gallery - Landscapes and Nature AeroShell Aerobatic Team (T-6 Aircraft), EAA Airshow, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 25 August 2023, Sony A1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61edff377282a467a3295e43/d8c2e6a1-b88c-47bb-aba0-9b43fd641350/L1010627.jpg Gallery - Landscapes and Nature Humanities Building & Music Hall, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. 2022.
