About Me

I work across security operations, detection engineering, and compliance, building tools, running investigations, and thinking seriously about the gaps between what detection programs claim to cover and what they actually do.

My background spans SOC operations with hands-on experience in Sentinel, Splunk, and Falcon, GRC and compliance work across SOC 2 and NIST CSF, and independent software development. I write in-depth technical analysis on this site and build everything I can from scratch.
