CHARLES D. GONZALEZ / SECURITY & PLATFORM ENGINEER

I build the systems
security depends on.

A Rust SIEM. Endpoint telemetry. Policy engines. Business platforms. I take complex requirements through architecture, implementation, and the details that make a system hold up.

FLAGSHIP ENGINEERING

A Rust SIEM,
built from the engine up.

I built Athernex to turn security events into evidence-backed investigations. The work spans ingestion, normalization, correlation, storage, the operational console, and the boundary between operator authority and agent capabilities.

  • Built a Rust SIEM with validated event ingestion, event normalization, five correlation rules, and evidence-backed investigations.
  • Implemented separate operator authentication and task-scoped agent capabilities with expiry and use limits.
  • Designed compact event encoding, bounded retention, replay protection, and inspectable storage accounting.
