Summary
Jason Smith is a software engineer and information security specialist with 13 years of experience hardening defensive perimeters for state and federal agencies and supporting detection platform development at industry leaders like FireEye and Cisco. He blends hands-on security engineering with open-source stewardship—several of his projects became best-practice tools adopted by DISA’s CNDSP program—while managing security operations teams and incident investigations. Comfortable moving between code, detection engineering, and operational response, he brings a pragmatic, auditor-friendly approach to resilient system design. Based in the Nashville area and trained in physics, Jason pairs analytical rigor with a hands-on maker’s mindset—weekends spent building arcade cabinets and racecars often seed creative automation and tooling ideas.
