Tampa, FL, US

As a Principal Red Team Engineer for Mandiant ThreatSpace, I design and execute hyper-realistic cyber range simulations that prepare enterprise security teams for real-world crises. Bridging the gap between offensive engineering and blue team mentorship, I manage the full lifecycle of the ThreatSpace environment, from infrastructure development to live adversary emulation.Adversary Emulation: Execute full-kill-chain attack scenarios (APT, Ransomware, Insider Threat) within a live production-level network, emulating TTPs from nation-state groups (e.g, APT41, DPRK) and financially motivated actors (e.g, FIN6, Lapsus$) to challenge student detection capabilities.Instruction & Mentorship: Lead 3-day intensive workshops for external clients, providing real-time coaching on incident response (IR) methodology, forensic analysis (Google SecOps, Velociraptor), and containment strategies.Threat Intelligence Integration: Translate frontline intelligence from Mandiant’s IR engagements into playable scenarios, ensuring that range simulations reflect the most current and critical threats facing the industry.
