Joe Bruno is a Principal Threat Research Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience turning malware research into product-ready detection and remediation capabilities. Based in Knoxville, he leads architecture and research at Monarx, building proprietary techniques to discover and clean PHP malware while also contributing to front-end and API systems earlier in his career. He's an active offensive security practitioner—ranked on HackerOne and Detectify, a Synack Red Team member, and OSCP-certified—bringing practical exploit knowledge to defensive engineering. Joe combines full‑stack development chops (React/Redux, Node, AWS) with compliance and incident response experience, enabling pragmatic, auditable security solutions. Notably, his background spans both shipping scalable production software and developing novel threat-hunting methods, which helps bridge product, research, and red-team perspectives.
