Senior🎓
Top SchoolJuan Licudine is a SOC L2 Shift Lead based in Abu Dhabi with 11 years of software and security experience who now runs a 24/7 SOC, mentors analysts, and authors operational playbooks and training content. He transitioned from a decade as a programmer into malware-focused cybersecurity, combining hands-on reverse engineering and developer instincts to build automation (Logic Apps, Python) that trims false positives and speeds triage. Juan also designs hands-on training—authoring 30+ TryHackMe modules and leading SOC simulation scenarios—and has presented a machine-learning malware packer classifier at BlackHat MEA. His open-source contributions include core keymap implementations for a Rust-based Emacs, showing continued backend coding chops alongside threat analysis. Practical, curious, and delivery-oriented, he blends engineering discipline with threat hunting rigor across cloud and on-prem environments.
