About Michael Tsikerdekis
I work across software and security engineering, applying hands-on expertise in detection, threat analysis, and infrastructure security to real-world operational environments. My experience spans security research, SOC triage, and data-driven security analytics, with a focus on understanding adversary behavior and translating complex telemetry into actionable outcomes. I am seeking roles where I can combine deep technical execution with AI/ML to build scalable, intelligence-driven security systems.
