Staff Threat Research Engineer specializing in malware detection, reverse engineering, and EDR rule development.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Threat Research Engineer with 17+ years of experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) technologies.
I develop detection rules, signatures, IOA models and watchlists using frameworks such as DRE, DRE-C, BPE, AMSI and YARA, and I contribute to third-party test readiness (AV-Test, AV-Comparatives, MITRE ATT&CK EDR Evaluation) and Microsoft MAPP timelines.
My work includes static and dynamic malware analysis, forensic investigation of Windows systems, threat actor attribution, and publishing technical research. I have led teams, guided technical research, and built automation tools in C++ and Python to improve detection and analysis workflows.
I focus on closing detection gaps, improving ATP detection coverage, and delivering high-efficacy protections across products while mentoring teams and collaborating with stakeholders to drive product security improvements.
