About
My name is Kenton.
I've been in data analytics for about 4 years now working as a Data Specialist in a Security Operations Center. Threat hunting and finding where the flow of data ends is tedious, yet somehow rewarding.
I am looking to pivot towards a more threat hunting focused role.
I enjoy optimization and vision work, and appreciate mature company policy. I strive to create proper documentation where there is none.
I'm also a professional swordsman. Sure to bring the high ground to your next team building exercise.
