RockstarJonathan Echavarria is a Principal Research Scientist in the Office of the CTO with 11 years of hands-on experience blending offensive security, AI research, and enterprise architecture to solve unconventional computing problems. Based in Tampa, he has led red-team operations at scale, developed malware and rootkits for advanced adversary emulation, and translated those tactics into defensive product design and detection strategies. At ReliaQuest he has moved from hands-on penetration testing and SOC engineering to architecting cross-functional AI-enabled security solutions, owning product proof-of-concepts and incident response for high-profile cases. His open-source contributions include practical security tooling and integrations—such as improving anonymization installers for Kali and adding notification channels to the BeEF framework—illustrating a pragmatic focus on operational reliability. Colleagues describe him as a technical polymath who combines deep offensive tradecraft with the ability to productionize research into customer-facing security products.
