He was previously one of the initial members of DART, Microsoft's customer-facing targeted attack incident response team. During his tenure he designed the process used by consultants to recover customer networks from targeted attacks and led the development of IRDB, the proprietary threat hunting platform designed to surface attackers hidden within networks.
