Whoami

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

• Currently the Founder & CTO 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 migrating to modern, cloud-based environments.

• I’m based in San Francisco, CA but from the DC Metro (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 pursue those ideas and build a SaaS platform that any team could benefit 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.
