Summary
Stan Vespie is a Senior Offensive Security Engineer with a decade of experience transitioning from full‑stack application development into red team and adversary emulation work. Based in Michigan, he blends hands‑on penetration testing (web, network, internal/external) with purple team collaboration to improve detection and response across enterprise environments. Stan builds custom offensive tooling, including C2 frameworks, and routinely translates technical findings into risk discussions for senior leadership and SOC teams. His background as a software developer and application security architect gives him an uncommon ability to weaponize and defend code-level weaknesses while mentoring engineers on secure design. Known for prioritizing excellent client service, he frames adversarial testing as collaborative improvement rather than confrontation. Currently focused on deepening research into AI security, he brings both practical attack experience and developer empathy to emerging ML threat models.
