ECU reflashing (USB mux, service processor, bootloader-level), dual CAN-BUS transceiver design, battery management systems (TI BQ76 12-cell balancing), reverse-engineering of scanning-electron-microscope hardware onto modern FPGA, and a QEMU-based ECU emulator for SIL/HIL testing.
Hardware reverse engineering, tear-downs, and hardware red teaming across diverse industry clients. Fielded capture-the-flags for the DEFCON Car Hacking Village and internal hack-a-thons. Leads embedded groups on scoping, delivery, mentoring, and attack research/automation.
vmware vSphere clusters with DRS/HA, a 48TB FreeNAS (RAID ZFS Z2) build, hardened Linux (incl. Gentoo, systemd-less with custom compiled kernels), POE networks with VLAN-segmented security, and Cisco IOS / Fortigate switch and firewall rule sets.
GDPR-aligned risk registers with streamlined, harmonized assessment questionnaires; SOC lab infrastructure design (network, Wi-Fi, virtualization) with safe test procedures; and company-wide security awareness training. Red team creation and event leadership.
Burn-in testing and validation engagements in Automotive, Financial, Medical, and Industrial sectors. Experience across medical devices (incl. Medtronic Valued Research Contributors), point-of-sale / EMV (Verifone, JP Morgan), and welding / industrial control (RSLogix 500/5000, IGBT drive circuitry).
EV battery emulator (reverse-engineered HV packs and inverters), a custom solar-storage array built around repurposed EV batteries, open-source firmware (custom OpenWRT), and speaker engagements at DHA, NTXCSG, and DEFCON. Teaches PCB design, machining, and welding at the Dallas Makerspace.
