WHAT I BRING
Technical depth.
Operational reality.
Findings only matter when teams can act. I connect attacker thinking, enterprise telemetry, and business context to reduce meaningful risk.
Vulnerability validation
Separating theoretical exposure from exploitable risk, then prioritizing what to fix first.
Adversary-informed defense
Turning MITRE ATT&CK, threat hunting, SIEM, and EDR telemetry into stronger coverage.
Security operations
Incident response, control validation, secure design, and cross-functional remediation.
