Software Engineering Manager, Cybersecurity & Technology Controls
At Redjack, a cyber security startup, I held multiple roles including Product & Engineering Manager for a group of brilliant engineers building industry-leading security analytics.
Primarily responsible for the development of a threat intelligence curation platform using microservices architecture to achieve scalability and vendor independence.
As the technical manager responsible for the full SDLC, I delivered multiple Splunk applications that formed a product suite for threat analysis across the Department of Defense network infrastructure; customer outcome focused with an agile development and delivery mindset.
Also developed a REST API and SIEM analyst workflows to investigate enterprise-wide phishing and malware campaigns. These efforts resulted in the creation of automated block, pull, and quarantine rules and daily threat reports. These rulesets were then ingested into Web Content Firewalls and IronPorts in near real-time, reducing reliance on network administrators and associated processes.
