About

I build security programs that hold up under pressure. Over the last seven years I've moved from analyst to architect, leading teams that design and run detection, response, and automation across enterprise and MSP environments.

My focus is resilience over defense — systems and playbooks engineered to absorb hits, recover fast, and get measurably better with every incident. I pair deep tooling knowledge (SentinelOne, SOAR, EDR, threat intel) with Python automation that removes toil and sharpens response.
