These recent references relate to my work since 2017 at a large telco where I founded, developed, lead the dev team and production deployed the largest scaled MISP instance known world-wide as a pivotal CTI asset for protection and detection aggregating over 100 OSINT and custom premium feeds.

I have been fortunate to foster a deep and direct collaboration with the amazing CIRCL Team in Luxembourg.

I've covered the spectrum in corporate and start-up ventures including cybersecurity, web development, Linux, PC, networking, microprocessor real-time systems. I've worn the hat as a hard core developer, trainer/teacher, and have worked in various leadership and management positions, and academic appointments.

I can help you in a lead role to drive a software solution to market. This includes product/project management or directing an R&D effort. I have extensive, results driven computing experience with a unique blend of business, management, technical, and academic skills in startups, Fortune 500, and SMB settings. My diverse technical experience spans the software development life cycle with product/project design, hardcore development, training, support, QA, operations, and administration.

I am now excited to leverage my extensive experience with new organizations.
