I am currently a software engineer at Fortra, with development and testing experience primarily in Swift, Python, and JavaScript.I worked most recently for over 8 years as a security researcher at Tripwire on the Vulnerability and Exposure Research Team (VERT). I primarily developed Python content that detects operating systems, applications, and vulnerabilities for Tripwire's IP360 vulnerability scanner. In addition, I developed JavaScript content for the Tripwire.io Cloud Configuration Manager which detected and automatically remediated cloud configurations (AWS, GCP, Azure, Salesforce, etc.) that failed to meet various security benchmarks. I also developed, maintained, or tested automation and web-scraping techniques to support VERT's content creation and release processes, tested content written by other developers, resolved defects, built a wide variety of testing environments for our application and operating system coverage, and kept up-to-date on current trends in security research.
