Summary
Sean Wangnick is a commercial pilot and Certified Flight Instructor based in Austin, Texas, who transitioned from an 11-year technical career in enterprise development and cybersecurity into hands-on aviation instruction. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Texas A&M and built strong SOC and automation expertise—developing Python-based Splunk plugins, SOAR playbooks, and API integrations with tools like CrowdStrike, Tanium, Vectra, and ExtraHop. At Texas A&M and The Home Depot he led network monitoring, threat detection, and DFIR automation, often eliminating false positives through creative use of external intelligence APIs. Sean combines meticulous safety mindset from aviation with a developer’s approach to automation and incident response, bringing operational rigor to both cockpits and security operations. Outside work he’s blended global internship experiences—from Microsoft to Exyte in Singapore—into a pragmatic, culturally aware problem-solving style. This interdisciplinary background makes him adept at translating complex technical systems into reliable, repeatable procedures.
