About

I’m a cybersecurity professional with 4+ years of experience in Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, and Security Operations, currently serving as a Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at Crowdstrike. My research has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, and I’ve contributed to the MITRE ATT&CK framework (Copy-Paste Execution: T1204.004, Conditional Access Policy Discovery via brute forcing: T1110, and COM/Typelib Hijacking: 1546.015). I specialize in novel threat discovery and vulnerability analysis, including reporting on emerging campaigns such as the ClickFix execution campaign, the SocGholish Python infection chain, and a new typelib hijacking technique, as well as co-authoring the analysis of the SAP NetWeaver 0-day to advise on exploit methodology. I regularly collaborate with law enforcement and advise CISOs of Fortune 500 companies, providing threat briefings, intelligence-driven guidance, and proactive recommendations to reduce exposure and improve defenses.
