Hi, I'm Duresa
Cybersecurity| Information Technology| Detection & Response| Writing
About
I build, break, and write about systems. From network forensics to side-project firmware, and the occasional weight-tracker app. Based in DMV. By day I work in detection and response, packet captures, log pipelines, and the unglamorous archaeology of figuring out what a machine actually did at 3 a.m. By night I am usually building something adjacent.

I've worked on a variety of projects, from detection and response tooling to small utilities I keep using. Here are a few of my favorites.

Kind words from sharper minds
A few of the people I've been lucky enough to learn from, build with, or get held to a higher standard by.
“Rare to find someone with the maturity and intentionality Duresa brought. When he came on board our teams were in a difficult place, and his presence was instrumental in turning things around.”
“Duresa stood up the entire technology layer for my online gaming community — deploying our website, integrating an AI assistant into our Discord, and building a custom interactive map. Cannot recommend him enough.”
“Duresa was the backbone of our technology operations at Waabee Self-Help. He built the infrastructure that let our team function and grow, on his own, with minimal direction and maximum initiative. Any team would be lucky to have him.”
