Summary
Andrew C is a Security Engineer II based in New York with 11 years of hands-on experience across malware analysis, incident response, penetration testing, and cloud security. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science (Systems & Architecture) from Georgia Tech and has taught and developed graduate-level labs on system and network defenses, including binary exploitation and kernel-level endpoint techniques. At Cisco he automated large-scale vulnerability triage with a substantial Python codebase and assessed GCP controls for major international clients, and at Praetorian he advanced cloud security assessments and built tooling to streamline secure configuration reviews. Now at Datadog, he continues to blend offensive testing with engineering to improve cloud security posture at scale. Colleagues rely on him for clear executive-facing reporting and pragmatic remediation guidance born from deep technical investigation. Outside of consulting, he built a browser-based auditing approach during graduate research that bridges semantic recording gaps in watering-hole attack analysis.
