Security Scientists
- Security Scientist, Nimbus Cloud Security (2022-2025): Developed detection logic for cloud credential theft across AWS and GCP using Splunk and proprietary telemetry; reduced alert noise by ~20%.
- Built a Python pipeline to cluster and label 5-10k weekly suspicious binaries, feeding results to malware analysts; improved turnaround time for triage.
- Partnered with SOC and IR to investigate phishing and lateral movement incidents; created playbooks and helped close several high-severity cases.
- Research: Implemented graph-based anomaly detection for IAM role chaining; presented findings internally and contributed to a paper on attacker behavior.
- MS, Computer Science (Security focus), State University, 2022; coursework in applied cryptography, machine learning, and network security.
- Skills: Python, SQL, Splunk, ELK, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Linux, basic Rust, TensorFlow, YARA, Sigma, Wireshark.
Overview
- Add baselines and scope to impact claims (noise reduction, triage speed, incident outcomes).
- Make research contributions legible: method, dataset/telemetry, results, and publication venue/status.
- Tighten vague phrasing ("partnered," "helped close") to show ownership and deliverables.
Suggestions
Rewrite to include baseline, definition of "noise," and scale of deployment. Example: "Authored 14 Splunk/Sigma detections for AWS CloudTrail + GCP Audit Logs targeting token replay and suspicious OAuth grants; cut false-positive rate from 38% to 24% (n=2,300 alerts/week) and reduced analyst review time by 11 hrs/week."
"Reduced alert noise" is ambiguous without defining the metric (false positives, duplicates, triage time) and the alert volume. Security Scientist resumes are screened for measurable detection quality improvements and telemetry coverage.

"Developed detection logic for cloud credential theft across AWS and GCP using Splunk and proprietary telemetry; reduced alert noise by ~20%."
Replace the range and vague speed claim with a specific throughput metric and validation approach. Example: "Built a Python feature-extraction + clustering pipeline for ~7,800 binaries/week; added analyst-in-the-loop labeling and YARA auto-generation, cutting time-to-first-verdict from 2.1 days to 9 hours."
A weekly range (5-10k) reads imprecise, and "improved turnaround time" lacks a before/after measure. Adding data volume, evaluation method, and concrete time delta makes the work credible and comparable.

"Built a Python pipeline to cluster and label 5-10k weekly suspicious binaries... improved turnaround time for triage."
Name your role, the artifacts you produced, and incident outcomes. Example: "Led IR analysis for 6 phishing-to-O365-token-theft incidents; authored 3 playbooks (token revocation, mailbox audit, conditional access hardening) and drove containment within 2 hours median."
"Partnered" and "helped close" understate ownership and omit outcomes. For Security Scientist roles, reviewers look for demonstrated investigation leadership, repeatable automation/playbooks, and measurable containment/MTTR improvements.

"Partnered with SOC and IR to investigate phishing and lateral movement incidents; created playbooks and helped close several high-severity cases."
Add what graph signals you used, how you evaluated, and the publication details. Example: "Modeled IAM role chaining as a bipartite graph over 90 days of CloudTrail; used node2vec + isolation forest to flag anomalous assume-role paths, improving recall from 0.41 to 0.63 on 120 labeled cases; co-authored workshop paper (USENIX WOOT 2024, under review/accepted)."
Research bullets are strongest when they include method, data/labels, and results, plus where the work was published (or its status). "Contributed to a paper" is too vague to signal research maturity.

"Implemented graph-based anomaly detection for IAM role chaining; presented findings internally and contributed to a paper on attacker behavior."
