Whoami

  • I started my career in DFIR (digital forensics + incident response), infrastructure security, cloud architecture, DevOps, and software engineering.

  • Currently the Founder & CEO of Panther - a cybersecurity company with the mission of making security operations painless.

  • I’m passionate about helping security teams alleviate the pains of traditional SIEMs and navigating the shift from “legacy” (on-prem) to “modern” (cloud-based) environments.

  • Currently based in San Francisco, CA, and from the DC Area (GMU 2008-2012).

  • As a security practitioner, I worked on the Yahoo Paranoids and Airbnb’s CSIRT team, later leading the detection engineering function.

  • While at Airbnb, I built an open source project called StreamAlert, released in 2017, which was widely adopted.

  • In 2018, I started Panther to continue those ideas and build a SaaS platform that any team could get value from.

  • In 2021, Panther achieved unicorn status, and today, we work with some of Silicon Valley’s most respected security teams.

  • I have a podcast (Detection-at-Scale) about detection concepts, security leadership, and more.

  • Aside from security, I’m maniacal about health, fitness, food, and general “flourishing” - you can hear these thoughts in real time on Twitter.
