Hey, I'm Jamin.
I started in operations doing incident response for Fortune 500 companies, then spent time at FireEye's Innovation and Custom Engineering team building forensic capabilities that could be deployed at scale during an active compromise. Now I run the Detection Platform at Huntress, basically the engine room for threat detection at scale, processing millions of events per minute across endpoints and identities.
Frustration is probably my most productive emotion. PacketTotal (now DynamiteLab) started as a weekend project. The netsec problem space is rich and the tooling for digging into packet captures felt way more painful than it needed to be, so I built something and threw it on the internet. I didn't expect anyone to use it. Then the security community did, which surprised me. Then it got acquired, which surprised me more. Neither outcome was in the plan, mostly because there wasn't one.
On the side I'm working on FileProxy , a single API that sits in front of S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, and wherever else your files ended up. It's the kind of problem that doesn't justify a dedicated product until you've written the same integration three times, and then it does (maybe? lol).
Outside of work I play chess (not well, but persistently) and spend weekends hiking in the NC mountains when the weather cooperates. I'm also a dad to a boy and a girl, which my wife and I are pretty proud of.
