<p>I work in the <a href="http://www.cert.org/netsa/">Network Situational Awareness</a> group, developing tools for monitoring and analyzing data from large networks.</p>
<p>I previously worked in private industry at CipherTrust (Now <a href="http://www.securecomputing.com">Secure Computing</a>.) and <a href="http://www.secureworks.com/">SecureWorks</a>, developing software to detect and prevent malicious activity at the application and transport layers. I’ve also done general <span class="caps">IDS</span>/IPS hacking and sensor event collection and correlation.</p>
<p>My recent work revolves around visualizing network monitoring data and developing tools to increase the effectiveness of network security operations in our sponsor organizations.</p>
<p>Good technical products come from good requirements, so I’ve spent a lot of time in my career working with customers to understand their needs and maximize the likelihood that new development will meet them.</p>
