Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Dwyer is a Senior Security Engineer with 12 years of experience designing and hardening production VPN and SOC infrastructure for privacy-focused services. Based in Austin, he led the migration from CentOS to a secure OpenBSD-based offshore VPN platform and built orchestration and automation using Ansible to standardize provisioning across the fleet. He architects and operates IPv4/IPv6 VPN, AAA, and monitoring stacks (OpenVPN, FreeRADIUS, LDAP, Splunk, Netflow, OSSEC) and has deep expertise in Linux and OpenBSD internals and networking. Early work at Sandia National Laboratories shows a practical balance of research and engineering—forking Docker components, integrating Open vSwitch, and crafting automated security training labs. He also mentors and trains security analysts, blending hands-on systems work with SOC processes and operational leadership. Notably, he pairs low-level OS hardening experience (including custom kernel work) with scalable automation to deliver secure, maintainable infrastructure.
