APPLICATION SECURITY & AUTOMATION

Security, with
a real-world
perspective.

I’m Kevin. I connect security findings to what matters—and build practical tools to close the gap.

A finding is a
starting point.
Context is what

Kevin ThomasSecurity Analyst & builder

I’m a Security Analyst with five years of experience in vulnerability management and web application security.

My focus is on understanding how an issue can actually be used, helping people take action, and making the process easier to repeat. That means working through findings, validating behavior, and building tools that make useful information easier to find.

I’m especially interested in the space between a scanner’s output and a security decision—the context, conversations, and hands-on testing that make the difference.
