Currently seeking cybersecurity roles.

Tristan Hanks.

I'm a cybersecurity professional with a specialty in incident response, focused on hardening infrastructure and deploying security solutions. I enjoy working under pressure and thinking like an adversary to secure an environment.

Currently, I'm a government support technician at Mayer Networks, where I administrate servers, Microsoft 365 environments, and perform audits. In this role, I lead the implementation of security solutions and repeatable documentation, partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure secure infrastructure is upheld.

Previously, I've worked across a wide range of environments as a tier one support technician, from small offices to large enterprises. In parity with my work, I create repeatable runbooks and scripts to automate solutions across our client base.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, spending time with my wife and our pets, and listening to various indie artists.
