Message

At Kratos Defense, I executed penetration tests for enterprise and government clients, including assessment work on Microsoft Azure Cloud and O365 for FedRAMP, GCC High, and DoD IL5 certification. My engagements covered web applications, networks, Active Directory, mobile applications, and binary fuzzing and reverse engineering.

I improved the team’s multi-tenant cloud testing methodology with a findings matrix and mentored other testers. I also developed internal tooling in Go and Python, including a Burp Suite extension for maintaining sessions during long-running authenticated scans.

After leaving Kratos Defense, I pursued biochemistry at Montgomery College while continuing technical projects. I maintain a package in nixpkgs, work on cross-compilation for the BEAM ecosystem, and self-host multi-cloud infrastructure; I also write reverse-engineering posts on my technical blog.
