- Threat hunting
Free mentoring — how it works
Send your resume
Attach your resume and a few lines on where you're headed.
Get corrections
Line-by-line feedback on what to fix, cut, and highlight.
Prep & plan
Interview prep and a concrete next-steps plan for breaking in.
Check back in
After you've applied or interviewed, tell me how it went — we'll sharpen the next round together.
For organizations
Independent, practitioner-grade guidance — scoped and quoted per engagement. No hourly billing, no surprises.
Product review & testing
Independent evaluation of security products — does it detect what it claims? Adversary-informed testing against real techniques, with findings your team can act on.
Incident response readiness
Tabletop exercises, playbook reviews, and IR process guidance — so the first real incident isn't the first time the plan gets tested.
SOC advisory
Maturity assessment, triage workflow design, and analyst coaching — building SOCs that catch things instead of drowning in alerts.
Threat intelligence programs
Guidance on collection, analysis, and dissemination that actually informs defense — intelligence your hunters and detectors can use.
Detection engineering
Building and tuning detections that fire on real adversary behavior — high-fidelity, low-noise, and mapped to the techniques that matter.
Threat hunting
Proactive hunt programs and practices that find what automation misses — hypothesis-driven hunting grounded in real threat intelligence.
How engagements work
Intro call
A short conversation on fit, goals, and scope. No commitment.
Scoped proposal
Fixed quote and timeline against defined deliverables.
The work
Testing, assessment, and exercises — delivered against the proposal.
Handover & follow-through
Findings walkthrough with your team, remediation guidance, and a check-in once you've had time to act.
Fair questions
Why is graduate mentoring free?
Because someone gave me their time when I was starting out. The advisory work funds the hours; the mentoring is how I pay it forward.
How is advisory priced?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually against defined deliverables — fixed price, fixed timeline. Tell me the problem and I'll tell you what it costs.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes — standard practice for every advisory engagement.
How much availability do you have?
A small number of engagements at a time, by design. If I'm full, I'll tell you when the next window opens rather than stretch thin.
