BUILD
SECURE
I BUILD SECURE SYSTEMS AND BREAK INSECURE ONES. THIS DUALITY IS NOT A CONTRADICTION—IT'S A NECESSITY. UNDERSTANDING HOW SYSTEMS FAIL IS FUNDAMENTAL TO BUILDING SYSTEMS THAT DON'T.

"JACOB'S WORK AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL. HIS UNDERSTANDING OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS AND INNOVATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS HAVE CONSISTENTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF PROJECTS. JACOB'S CODE IS EFFICIENT, RELIABLE AND WELL-DOCUMENTED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JACOB FOR ANY SOFTWARE ENGINEERING ROLE."
"JACOB IS AN EXCEPTIONAL CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONAL. HE'S A CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATOR WHO BALANCES PRECISION WITH ACCESSIBILITY. AS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT, HE IMMEDIATELY PUTS CLIENTS AT EASE. HIS CREDENTIALS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, BUT IT'S HIS DEMONSTRATIVE EFFORT AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT TRULY SET HIM APART. CONFIDENT IN RECOMMENDING HIS SERVICES."
"JACOB'S SECURITY ASSESSMENT OF OUR APPLICATION WAS THOROUGH AND INSIGHTFUL. HE NAVIGATED COMPLEX IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS AND TECHNICAL CHALLENGES THAT WOULD STUMP MOST TESTERS. THE VULNERABILITIES HE IDENTIFIED WERE DOCUMENTED CLEARLY WITH EXCELLENT PROOF-OF-CONCEPTS THAT MADE REMEDIATION STRAIGHTFORWARD."
