Background

About Brian Fox

I specialize in applying cybersecurity, open-source intelligence, and AI-driven development to solve high-impact problems in security and investigations. With a background in compliance and operations, I’ve led technical teams, built secure cloud environments, and developed AI-assisted tools to accelerate threat detection and analysis. My work spans multiple domains—from building a full-stack AWS learning platform in 72 hours using generative AI, to supporting real-time investigations as a certified OSINT volunteer through Guardian Group. As a Prompt Engineer, I design and deploy functional, purpose-built tools by translating domain knowledge into structured prompts and automation logic. My focus is on results, not theory—delivering secure, actionable solutions that support both enterprise environments and mission-driven initiatives. Core Competencies: • Cloud Security: AWS, GCP, IAM, Terraform • OSINT: Open-source investigations, phone data analysis, escort ad tracking • SIEM & IR: Splunk, Chronicle, incident triage • AI & Automation: GPT-4, Replit, prompt chaining, security tooling • Compliance: NIST 800-53, HIPAA, ISO 27001 I’m passionate about using technical skills for meaningful outcomes—whether that’s protecting data, preventing threats, or supporting investigations that help real people.
