I operate at the intersection of intelligence tradecraft and technical engineering. With a 14-year foundation in military operations, I understand that intelligence is only valuable if it drives a decision. I don't just analyze threats; I build the systems, pipelines, and frameworks that turn raw data into a strategic defense capability.
Professional Development & Technical Foundation
I view Cyber Threat Intelligence as a discipline that sits at the intersection of technical reality and business risk. To be effective, I believe one must understand the full lifecycle of a threat—from the initial exploit to the boardroom decision.
My certification path is structured to build this holistic view. I study offensive tradecraft to understand how attacks function technically, and management frameworks to understand why they matter to the business.
