I'm a Principal Threat Researcher at Brandefense, with 7+ years of hands-on experience across offensive security, threat intelligence, and strategic cyber defense. My work sits at the intersection of deep technical research and executive-level decision-making — translating complex threat landscapes into actionable intelligence.
Previously, I served as Technical Product Manager and Head of Cyber Intelligence Services at Brandefense, and before that as Penetration Testing Team Leader and Senior Security Consultant at PRISMA CSI, working directly with enterprise clients across red team operations and vulnerability assessments.
My mission: bridge the gap between raw security research and real-world defense at scale.
