Important Note: I am no longer affiliated with Nerds Support. There is no conflict of interest in this application. I parted ways after the organization declined to adopt a production-ready smart form automation suite I developed using the Microsoft Graph API. My goal is to join a team like Cynet, where engineering innovation is not just welcomed but is a cornerstone of the culture.
Why I Want to Work for Cynet
I am optimistic about Cynet’s trajectory to become the global leader in cybersecurity. Your unified, automated platform is setting a new standard for accessible and effective security solutions. Having collaborated seamlessly with Cynet’s team on large-scale EDR rollouts and custom API integrations, I’ve never encountered an issue, which speaks to your collaborative and innovative culture. I am eager to join Cynet to enhance this mission, contributing to a platform that I believe will define the future of cybersecurity.
My expertise in endpoint protection, AWS infrastructure, and AI-driven solutions aligns perfectly with Cynet’s goals. I’ve led the deployment of over 1,000 Cynet agents, developed PowerShell utilities to monitor host counts and licensing costs, and created automated billing pipelines. My experience in HIPAA and SOC 2 environments ensures secure, compliant deployments using AWS, Rust, and DevSecOps best practices.
Cynet’s remarkable achievement of 100% protection and visibility in MITRE ATT&CK assessments demonstrates an engineering culture that prioritizes excellence. As the only out-of-the-box vendor to master automation at this level, Cynet is poised for global impact. I am excited to contribute my skills in AWS architecture, API integrations, and client-focused solutions to strengthen Cynet’s mission of delivering autonomous, world-class cybersecurity.
Key Achievements
- Deployed Cynet agents across 1,000+ endpoints, achieving 99.9% uptime and zero critical incidents over 18 months.
- Developed a Rust-based CLI tool to automate Cynet API queries, reducing manual reporting time by 80%.
- Developped a custom CRM in the prechat gpt era with PHP Laravel Framework with satelite object detection with roof area mapping from Google Earth API.
- Built client portals for over eight law firms, integrating secure document management and compliance reporting with React, Node.js, and AWS S3.
- Designed and deployed self-hosted AI solutions for multiple Jewish legal firms, enabling secure, on-premises document analysis and case prediction using PyTorch and Docker.
AI Expertise
My AI experience complements Cynet’s innovative approach to cybersecurity, and I am eager to learn from your expertise to grow further. My work in AI has focused on secure, practical applications in sensitive industries, and I see Cynet’s leadership in autonomous defense as an opportunity to advance my skills:
- Developed self-hosted AI models for Jewish legal firms, using PyTorch to enable secure document analysis and case outcome prediction, deployed on-premises with Docker.
- Built an AI-driven anomaly detection system for endpoint security, leveraging TensorFlow to identify irregular patterns in network traffic for law firm clients.
- Created an AI-powered chatbot for client portals, using Python and scikit-learn to automate compliance inquiries, reducing support ticket volume by 25%.
These projects demonstrate my ability to apply AI effectively, but I am excited to join Cynet to deepen my expertise by learning from your team’s advanced techniques in threat detection and autonomous cybersecurity.
Technical Expertise
- Cybersecurity: EDR, XDR, SIEM (Splunk, Elastic), MITRE ATT&CK framework, threat hunting, and incident response.
- Programming: Python, Rust, JavaScript (Node.js, React), PowerShell, and Go for secure, scalable applications.
- DevSecOps: AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM), Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
- Client Portals: Built secure, HIPAA-compliant portals for law firms using React, Node.js, and AWS API Gateway, with features like encrypted document storage and audit trails.
- AI/ML: Developed self-hosted AI models with PyTorch and TensorFlow for legal document analysis, deployed on AWS EC2 and on-premises servers.
- APIs: Cynet API, Microsoft Graph, REST, and GraphQL for custom integrations and automation.
My deep AWS experience, combined with my work in client-facing portals and AI, aligns with Cynet’s mission to deliver innovative cybersecurity solutions.
Vision for Impact at Cynet
I am committed to enhancing Cynet’s mission of delivering autonomous, accessible cybersecurity. My goal is to strengthen your platform’s capabilities and global reach through targeted contributions:
- AWS Optimization: Improve Cynet’s cloud deployments using AWS ECS and Lambda to ensure cost-efficient, auto-scaling agent management for global clients.
- Client Portal Development: Design secure, user-friendly dashboards for Cynet customers, providing real-time threat intelligence and compliance insights to enhance client trust.
- Marketing/Sales:Help make Cynet the world leading XDR platform
- API Integrations: Expand Cynet’s ecosystem by building seamless integrations with tools like ServiceNow and Splunk, improving SOC efficiency and client workflows.
- Knowledge Sharing: Support Cynet’s team by mentoring engineers and documenting best practices in AWS, DevSecOps, and AI-driven cybersecurity.
Finally add the ability to transfer endpoints between sites if possible.
