What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote cybersecurity opportunity focused on offensive operations and AI-driven analysis, where I can automate security processes, build practical internal tools, and stay ahead of evolving threats using open-source and cloud technologies.

I'm leading the development and launch of Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security, a fully managed vulnerability scanning service within the Managed XDR portfolio.

I define its product vision, roadmap, deployment processes, reporting, remediation workflows, and compliance enablement across GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. I work with Product, SOC, Engineering, Threat Intelligence, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to turn scan data into prioritized risk mitigation plans.

At the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, I automated scan intelligence and web application scanning reports with Python and Qualys, supported zero-day detection across 100+ clients, and implemented AWS capabilities for secure local AI and LLM use.

My background includes vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, web application security, security operations, network engineering, and internal tool development. I'm seeking remote cybersecurity work focused on offensive operations and AI-driven analysis.
