CSIRT primarily, currently doing large-scale detection engineering. I ❤️ ISO 8601

Spent a good amount of time in intelligence, ran operations for a vulnerability database, and worked a lot on some industry standards working groups CVSS (v2, v3), CPE (2.3). Did PSIRT a few places, too.

Do a lot with OpenBSD, Python, and Oxford commas. Worked as a manager for some world-class, global teams. Use that experience as a super power now that I’m back as a senior technical IC.

Excited to see that with ~56% of counties reporting, almost 700k voters have turned out in the primaries here in South Carolina. Republicans are showing about 380k voters and Dems about 300k voters.

This is up from 2022 midterms where the final numbers were about 350k R and 180k D.

Thank you for voting, #southcarolina

And thank you for running, candidates. It makes a huge difference when we have choices.
