My name is Evan. I am a Principal Penetration Tester | malware developer for OnDefend LLC and am the CEO and Lead Engineer of KrakenTech LLC. I have experience working in the Big 4 and with Fortune 500 as well as smaller clients. In my work I create applications and scripts utilized for Adversarial Emulation and Red Team Engagements.

I am proficient in more than 12 programming, scripting and declarative languages and pride myself on my ability to write efficient, practical and neat code. I have a deep understanding of programming with the stack and heap and enjoy getting into the technical weeds with my mentees to create a better understanding of the task being performed.

I have 7 years experience working in Cyber where I have created scalable, distributed systems capable of monitoring multiple input streams in real-time and producing alerts. I have also constructed blue and red team applications and scripts that I still utilize to this day. I have created multiple OOP and Scripted programs in Bash, PowerShell, Golang, Java, Python and many more.

In my time as a tutor I have had the opportunity to work with over 60 students from many different masters and bachelors programs. As such I have had ample insight into the types of assignments and projects given by professors and what their expectations are.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Outstanding Tutor!!!

Evan has helped me understand Python and Linux more than any other resource I have found. He is very knowledgeable and is able to explain concepts better than any of my professors ever have. If you need help with something related to offensive security, Evan can help you!!!

Dare, 4 lessons with Evan

Very knowledgable and effective tutor

He was able to figure out flaws in the training platform I was using and workarounds for me to accomplish the same output without getting trapped in the bugs. He was so patient and encouraging. He loves teaching and is not trying to drag out the hours. He finds shortcuts that make the lessons make more sense and lead to the correct answer.
