Detection engineer. Finserv → Big Tech → Startup.
Building detection systems since 2018. Now trying to fix alert fatigue with ML.
I've spent the last 7 years building detection systems, breaking things, and figuring out how security actually works in the real world.
Currently Lead Detection Engineer at Alpha Level, where we're using ML to solve the alert fatigue problem that's been annoying SOC analysts for decades. Before that: Principal Security Engineer at Oracle, SIEM Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group, and consulting stints across government, legal, and financial services.
I started this site to write about security, careers, and the stuff I wish someone had told me earlier.
Building ML that cuts SOC alert volumes by up to 87% without missing real threats. We're trying to fix the thing every security team complains about.
