Assume Breach. Automate Everything.
Hello there—I’m Elliot Huffman. I span architecture, engineering, and operations. I design and build secure systems, automate infrastructure and deployments, and optimize for operability when alerts start firing at 2 a.m.
Security Architecture
Designing security from principles: Assume Breach, clean source, and pragmatic controls that eliminate entire attack classes instead of playing whack-a-mole with threat actors.
Automation Engineering
If a computer can run it, it can be automated. I build reliable automation for infrastructure, security operations, and business operations.
Enterprise-Ready
Enterprise & government experience. I optimize for scale, resilience, and operability.
I’ve led and contributed to security outcomes across enterprise and government environments: spanning privileged access architecture, full environment rebuilds, and malware response automation.
