• Solid grounding in API security - ensuring API traffic routes through security tooling, evaluating identified vulnerabilities, and partnering with application teams to drive remediation

• Strong HTTP/application security knowledge: TLS interception, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, command injection, LFI/RFI, rate limiting, bot detection, geo-blocking, and sinkholing

• Intermediate to advanced network routing and switching knowledge with focus on DNS, TCP/IP, IPsec, TLS, GRE, OSPF, and BGP
