Aung Myint Myat

I build the tools and systems that are the backbone of security operations.

I spend most of my time building security tooling, writing detections, and hunting things that don't want to be found. I like making stuff that is actually useful when you are dealing with real threats, mostly around detection engineering, DFIR, and automation across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
