specialist, detection engineer, and trusted freelance partner to security teams who need clarity in the chaos.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve spent 15+ years working across SIEM platforms, from Splunk to LogScale, helping government, defence, and private sector clients clean up their pipelines, fix what\u2019s broken, and build trust in their alerts again.<\/p><p>My work increasingly focusses on Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS), bringing together detection engineering, threat intelligence and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by industrial environments. Having previously worked alongside control engineers and operators, I understand that securing these environments requires a different approach, where safety, availability and operational continuity come first.<\/p><p>What sets me apart? I don\u2019t just write rules \u2014 I engineer the whole system around them. That means getting your logs clean, your extractions right, and your detection logic tight. Whether it&#8217;s traditional IT or industrial environments, the goal remains the same: meaningful visibility and detections you can trust.<\/p><p>UK-based. SC cleared.
