  • Solid understanding of internal network penetration techniques, Active Directory attacks, and techniques for evading defenses.
  • Understanding of Windows, Linux, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure) from an attacker perspective.
  • Experience working in collaborative offensive-defensive engagements to improve detection and response.
