Journey
I started by learning systems. Then I learned to investigate them. Then I started building around them.
Not a job history. A path of progression, where each stage is denser and more connected than the last.
Learn systems
How computers and services actually behave, before anything is layered on top.
- Linux
- Networking
- Bash
- How computers and services behave
Along the path
Security
Applying that understanding to security: fundamentals, analysis and hands-on labs.
- Security fundamentals
- Network analysis
- Forensics
- Security labs
Along the path
Operations
Working with security systems every day: telemetry, investigation, detection and response.
- Monitoring
- Triage
- SIEM
- Investigation
- Detection
- Incident workflows
Automate
Turning repeated work into tooling, and connecting tools into workflows.
- Scripts
- APIs
- Tool integration
- Workflow automation
- Structured data
Build
Designing the systems themselves: applications, infrastructure and software architecture.
- Applications
- Infrastructure
- Software architecture
- Engineering systems
Along the path
Now
Moving deeper into the engineering layer behind security operations: automation, integrations, infrastructure and software.
- Security Engineering
- SIEM Engineering
- Automation
- Integrations
- Software Systems
The progression is still moving. The work so far is in the portfolio, and the thinking behind it is in the Lab.
