Selected work
BakerStreet + Sherlock
Security findings were scattered across tools, and sharing them with clients meant another manually assembled report.
I built BakerStreet to connect testing, findings, and assessment history, and Sherlock to run assessments remotely. Clients can trigger authenticated scans from their development pipelines and act on the results.

Omenexa
A security warning was already public, but the team that needed it never saw it. I started asking how we could connect those warnings to the technology a company actually uses.
I’m building Omenexa to combine external discovery with threat monitoring, including technology a team may not know it depends on.

About Alex
I wanted to build a company so I could do fascinating things with fascinating people.
I love finding out what someone can’t stop thinking about. I start asking questions. One detail leads to another, and suddenly we’re looking at the problem differently. My favorite part is when they start throwing ideas back.
I’m co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Tuik Security Group.
Along the way, I’ve built and led security teams and overseen thousands of security assessments. I helped pioneer industrial control protocol fuzzing and established application security testing programs at General Electric and the FAA.
I’ve also picked up three Black Badges: one from DEF CON and two from GrrCON. After four wins at DarkNet, DEF CON’s largest contest at the time, they put me to work on the team, running its final challenge. These days, I help lead DEF CON’s photo and video team.
