• Translate investigative findings into concrete improvements across detection, enforcement, intel, and safety pipelines.
• Build tooling, scripts, automations, and agentic workflows that scale investigative throughput and reduce manual effort.
• Prototype solutions in ambiguous and emerging problem spaces, including new product surfaces, novel attacker behaviors, and areas where existing coverage may be limited.
