Alex Haydock

Hi, I’m Alex. I currently work as a Security, Orchestration, Automation & Response (SOAR) engineer in the energy sector.

Previously I provided security and privacy consulting services via this site. I’m not currently looking for new clients at the moment.

Day-to-day, I spend my time working with SIEM tooling, Ansible, and all the bells and whistles that go into maintaining, administering, and monitoring performant “big data” deployments.

I love containers, ComplianceAsCode, immutable infrastructure, BPF, and auditd.

I am sometimes active on both GitHub and GitLab.
