What I Do
I work the full lifecycle of a system's security: designing and building it, hardening it against real attack paths, instrumenting it so it tells you the truth, and defending it when something goes wrong. Grounded in fundamentals, not one narrow specialty.
Projects
Operation Siren, Project Archon, the container honeypot, and the home lab work behind them.
Certifications
26 certifications earned, the CISSP in progress, and a SANS M.S. in Information Security Engineering.
Threat Research
Adversary infrastructure, campaign tracking, ATT&CK mapping, and the detections that come out of them.
