HTFD Firefighter at Harmony Township Fire Dept
Columbus, Ohio Metropolitan Area United States
Summary
👤
SeniorChad Seaman is a security-focused technologist and firefighter based in Columbus, Ohio, with 13 years of hands-on experience blending incident response, threat research, and full-spectrum web development. As Principal Security Researcher at Akamai he drove DDoS and malware investigations, discovered protocol-level amplification vectors, and built custom tooling and labs to attribute and analyze large-scale attacks. He also contributes as a vetted bug bounty researcher and has a deep background in web technologies dating back to early Flash, PHP, and real-time systems work. Chad pairs practical systems skills (Python, Scapy, Bash, Linux, reversing toolchains) with OSINT-driven investigations that have linked underground samples to real-world incidents. Currently serving his community as an HTFD firefighter, he brings calm under pressure and a habit of getting “hands dirty” in both emergency response and technical trenches. Notably, his long career bridges legacy web-era engineering and modern adversary research, giving him an atypical perspective on attack surfaces and defensive design.
