Where I’m Taking This
I have built a broad cybersecurity foundation and I am now specializing in understanding and investigating real-world adversaries — threat actor to campaign, infrastructure to malware, and finally to the detections that stop them.
Threat Research
Adversary infrastructure, campaign tracking, ATT&CK mapping, and the detections that come out of them.
Projects
Project Archon, the container honeypot, and the automation work behind them.
Experience
Enterprise IT and security operations across Microsoft environments, built on a U.S. Marine Corps background.
Certifications
26 certifications earned, the CISSP in progress, and a SANS M.S. pointed at CTI, forensics, and malware.
About & Skills
Who I am, what I can actually do today, and what I am still developing.
