Security Engineering

Mike Vasquez

I build and break security infrastructure — offensive tooling, hardened network design, and the automation that keeps both honest.

About

My work sits between red and blue: designing segmented network ranges, building tooling that exercises them, and writing the operational documentation that makes the results reproducible.

Most of it runs on infrastructure I built and maintain myself — a multi-node virtualization cluster with distributed storage, VLAN segmentation, and an Active Directory attack range used for hands-on training and tool validation.

Selected Work

AtomicCTF

A capture-the-flag training platform — public site, learner application, API backend, and an operator dashboard for provisioning live challenge ranges. Designed, built, and operated end to end.

CTF Tooling & Automation

Challenge ingestion, reconstruction, and automated solver benchmarking — hermetic containerized challenge hosts that let tooling be measured against known-good targets.

DockerOrchestration Benchmarking

Lab & Range Infrastructure

Virtualization cluster with distributed storage, firewalled VLAN segmentation, backup and restore drills, and an Active Directory range for adversary-simulation practice.
