Christopher Wilson

Cybersecurity practitioner with hands-on experience across security operations, incident response, penetration testing, digital forensics, cloud security, and investigative reporting. I bring a practitioner mindset that combines technical execution with strong analytical judgment and clear, stakeholder-ready documentation.My work includes leading and contributing to investigations that required log analysis, network traffic inspection, credential analysis, timeline reconstruction, and root-cause determination. In collaborative environments, I frequently owned the final analysis and authored or heavily edited investigative reports, ensuring findings were accurate, defensible, and actionable.I have conducted full-scope penetration testing engagements following industry-standard methodology, including reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation analysis across web applications, Linux systems, and Windows environments. I documented findings in professional penetration test reports that included severity ratings, business impact, and remediation guidance.My digital forensics experience includes completing a full forensic investigation using Autopsy and database-backed artifacts. I analyzed execution evidence, registry activity, application data, and timelines to reconstruct user behavior and investigative findings, producing a formal forensic case report suitable for escalation and review.In cloud and application security, I designed and evaluated an Azure-based web application with layered controls including TLS certificate validation, centralized logging, and web application firewall protections. I also conducted wireless security research involving packet capture and authentication analysis, pairing technical execution with mitigation strategies and impact assessment.Across projects, I have served as a technical lead and mentor, authoring automation scripts, guiding investigative approaches, and translating complex technical evidence into clear narratives. I am strongest in roles that value technical depth, analytical judgment, and clear communication, including SOC, incident response, digital forensics, vulnerability assessment, and security engineering support.
