About

I build practical security programs for real infrastructure.

I'm Jack Smith, a cybersecurity engineer focused on cloud security, network security, endpoint protection, automation, and secure infrastructure design. I like security work that has to survive contact with production: clear controls, measurable outcomes, and tools that engineers can actually use.

Experience

Security engineering across cloud, endpoint, and network layers.

13,000+ enterprise devices covered through NAC platform work
8,000+ systems migrated to CrowdStrike Falcon endpoint protection
40% mean response time reduction through security automation

Cloud and infrastructure security

Implemented Wiz CSPM for AWS visibility, aligned cloud security work with CIS benchmarks and compliance needs, and helped harden enterprise infrastructure during Fortinet modernization efforts.

Enterprise protection programs

Led major security platform deployments and migrations, including NAC coverage for more than 13,000 devices and endpoint protection rollout across more than 8,000 systems.

Security automation

Built automation workflows for incident triage, enrichment, and response so teams could move faster without losing discipline or context.

Approach

Understand the system. Reduce the blast radius. Automate the boring parts.

Map the risk

I start with how identity, data, network paths, and failure modes actually behave before prescribing controls.

Ship usable controls

Security tooling should meet engineers where they work, with feedback loops that make secure decisions easier.

Build across layers

My project work spans embedded C, Flutter, Swift, AWS, Flask, PostgreSQL, Python, and security automation.

Leave evidence

Good security work is observable, auditable, and repeatable enough for the next person to trust it.
