Junior Security Engineer · Cyvatar

Noah Cook

I build security automation and AI tooling: malware triage, scheduled vendor reporting on AWS Lambda, and LLM-assisted analysis.

MAAT report: every point of the score explained

About

Most of my projects start as a problem I got tired of doing by hand.

I'm a junior security engineer at Cyvatar, where I automate vendor reporting for client organizations with Python, AWS Lambda, EventBridge and S3.

What I work on

  • Pulling data from vendor APIs like Tenable, SentinelOne, and Cloudflare into scheduled client reports
  • Building command-line tools that turn a manual analysis routine into one run
  • Putting AI systems like Claude to work on repetitive analysis
Previously
Security Analyst, Medco Tool
Certifications
  • CompTIA Security+
  • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
Degree
B.S. Information Technology, FIU

Selected work

A malware triage tool, an AI deal scanner built on the Anthropic API, and a game I made for fun.

MAAT

FeaturedPersonal project

Malware Analysis Automation Tool

Triage that took a handful of tools now runs as one command.

A command-line pipeline that triages suspicious Office documents, executables and PDFs without running them. It identifies each file by its magic bytes, checks reputation through hash-only VirusTotal lookups so the sample never leaves your machine, and renders an HTML report that explains every point of its risk score.

Marketplace Deal Finder

Personal project

AI-assisted deal scanner for Facebook Marketplace

Scans 100 listings for about $2, and every run reports what it cost.

A command-line pipeline that scrapes new listings in the location and category of your choice. The Anthropic API identifies the exact product from each listing's title, description and photos, and the item is priced against Google Shopping. A second Anthropic API pass confirms the exact model. An item without a defensible price is dropped rather than guessed, and the best discounts can optionally notify you in Slack.

Heartwood Incremental

Personal project

Pixel-art incremental game

Live and playable, with every number tuned in a separate simulator first.

A browser incremental game where you grow a tree through escalating forms and three nested prestige layers. The real work was balance: a layered economy where every bonus multiplies through a single chokepoint, with the pacing tuned in a standalone simulator before any number reached the game.
