  • Network detection engineering — Suricata and Zeek rule development, signature logic, performance tuning
  • CVE research — patch-diffing, lab exploitation, exploitability assessment, detection development
  • Malware analysis — threat actor TTP analysis, network indicator extraction, C2 protocol reverse engineering

  • Threat hunting — developing and maintaining the TGI HUNT Suricata ruleset

Background

I’m a former core team member of the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF), where I led Suricata training and presented internationally, including SuriCon 2017 in Prague. Over 20 years of work spans government and military advisory roles, enterprise security consulting, and hands-on detection engineering. I’ve also mentored high school students in cybersecurity through the CyberPatriot program.
