Achilles Rogan

U.S. citizen targeting SOC, detection engineering, and AI-security roles. I want to lead a team of AI agents that do real cybersecurity work — triage, detection, and automation under human direction — and I am building the defensive fundamentals to get there.

I do not use LinkedIn. This site and my GitHub profile are the public record of my work.
