Welcome to ShadowShu

I’m Dave — a fraud and cybersecurity professional by day, bourbon hunter and app builder by night. Based in High Point, NC, I’ve spent years working deep in the world of voice fraud, IVR systems, authentication, and trust & safety. This is where I write about all of it — and everything else that doesn’t fit neatly into a job description.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Bourbon — NC allocated hunting, reviews, and the chaos of secondary markets
  • Fraud & Cybersecurity — real talk about scams, authentication failures, and how bad actors think
  • App Dev — building Allocated, a bourbon tracking app, from the ground up
  • Life & Tech — everything else
