Continued aggressive expansion of the vulnerability scanning platforms. Developed a proof of concept HTML based Pentest Report Generation tool. Key automation resource for scripting heavy lift tasks from other InfoSec teams. Key resource in overhaul of vulenrability scanning policies. Built pentest produced POC's for internal use.

On day one, challenged to overhaul, expand, and own the entire infrastructure vulnerability assessment platform. Expert technical resource for SSL / TLS hardening, created automated platform for scanning TLS configurations throughout the enterprise (inspired my personal SSLDash project). Wrote the vulnerability assessment policies and procedures. Coordinated numerous penetration tests of ICE web and thick client applications. Championed the AppSec Web App Dashboard project to automate clunky metrics, reduce human error, and enhance AppSec assessment capabilities using Python / Django.
