Summary
Jin Chan is a Detection and Response Engineer based in Singapore with 10 years of hands-on experience blending offensive research, detection engineering, and scalable systems development. He has led cybersecurity research at Acronis—innovating context-aware file integrity monitoring, AST-based PHP malware analysis, and a threat-hunting query language for XDR—before moving into senior threat analysis and now detection/response operations. His background spans kernel and malware research, big-data telemetry pipelines (PySpark/Hive/Kafka), and practical tooling for DNS/Netflow detection, including a published PhishGAN technique for homoglyph phishing. Comfortable across the full stack, Jin builds end-to-end systems from data ingestion to analyst-facing detections and has a track record of turning research prototypes into production-ready capabilities. He contributes to open projects (GitHub jinhaochan) and participates in the offensive community via HackerOne and HackTheBox, reflecting a strong red-team/blue-team synthesis. Notably, he combines deep low-level OS research with pragmatic engineering to reduce alert noise to near constant-time actionable signals.
