Summary
Hunter Pittman is a cyber security engineer with 9 years of hands-on IT and security experience, currently researching and building LLM-powered analysis tools and secure telemetry for air-gapped systems at MITRE. He blends broad practical experience—from customer-facing web design and Drupal CMS work to backend scripting, CI/CD, RMM administration, and RF/satellite security research—allowing him to connect operational realities with research rigs. Comfortable moving between code (Python, PowerShell, Rust, SQL) and investigative report-writing, he has held roles as developer, task lead, and principal investigator while presenting findings at industry venues. His background includes threat intelligence, vulnerability detection for RF systems, and architecting backend APIs, demonstrating both depth in cybersecurity and versatility across the project lifecycle. Based in San Diego, he’s completing graduate studies in national cybersecurity and seeks opportunities to apply his diverse technical toolkit on bleeding-edge defensive programs. An early fascination with that “big black box” drives a persistent curiosity that surfaces in building practical prototypes that bridge research and production.
