Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Thomas is a Lead Penetration Tester and former USAF Cyber Warfare Operator with 11 years of experience combining hands-on offensive operations, reverse engineering, and secure software development. He founded Dark Age Technology Group to build cloud backup software and has applied his coder’s mindset—mostly Python—to freelance bug bounties and Red Team engagements, including Synack and Defense Department work. His background spans published NSF-funded research, building an Arduino block-based IDE as an undergrad, and leading a student algorithmic trading team, demonstrating an unusual mix of academic rigor, product engineering, and operational cyber tradecraft. Comfortable teaching and mentoring, he’s as likely to be teaching binary exploitation as he is to be debugging packet captures at 2 a.m., and he brings that blend of curiosity and pragmatism to project-based work.
