Hi, I'm MiddleSiggy (Joseph)
With over 30 years of experience in the IT industry, I've dedicated my career to helping people understand and leverage technology to improve their lives.
Throughout my journey in technology, I've worked on everything from large-scale enterprise organizations to helping individuals preserve their cherished memories through digitization. As an entrepreneur, I've founded and led multiple organizations, navigating the challenges of innovation and growth in the tech sector. My roles have spanned executive leadership, including serving as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), where I've overseen strategic initiatives in cybersecurity and organizational resilience.
My passion lies in breaking down complex technical concepts into easy-to-understand, actionable steps that anyone can follow. Complementing my IT expertise, I've explored advanced techniques in effective communication and instructional strategies for more than a decade, applying these insights to enhance how I teach and connect with others. As an adjunct professor, executive mentor, and industry leader, I've used this knowledge to guide students, teams, and professionals in technology and business, and I incorporate it daily into the content I share to make learning more engaging and effective.
On my YouTube channel, @middlesiggysdigitalworld, I share tutorials, tips, and practical guides on topics ranging from digitizing old media formats (VHS, film, slides, photos) to setting up smart home systems and understanding networking fundamentals.
I believe that technology should empower, not intimidate. Whether you're looking to preserve family memories, automate your home, or simply understand how your network works, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
