Anthony Tropeano

Security Engineer | Secure Systems & Infrastructure

I build secure software, infrastructure, and network defenses for real-world operations. Each project turns clear requirements into systems that teams can deploy, monitor, and maintain.

Professional experience includes founding Defend I.T. Solutions and supporting Python courses at the University of Arizona. I graduated summa cum laude from the university's NSA CAE-CO Cyber Operations program. Graduate study in Artificial Intelligence with a Data Science concentration begins at Nova Southeastern University in fall 2026.

Selected work

  • SIGINT: Live OSINT dashboard that combines eight data feeds on an interactive globe. Cross-source correlation produces scored alerts and watch notifications. The dashboard also supports offline use.
  • O-Tether: Shipped, closed-source security appliance for low-cost ARM hardware. Features include a default-deny firewall, threat filtering, flow classification, inline intrusion prevention, signed releases, and fail-closed behavior.

Published Rust projects

  • 0xDL: Rust library for asynchronous downloads with cryptographic integrity checks.
  • pveauto: Rust library and command-line tool that downloads Proxmox VE ISO images and verifies their integrity.

Systems and research

  • threads-kernel: Implements scheduling, synchronization, IPC, interrupt handling, system calls, and disk I/O in C for the THREADS teaching framework.
  • Co-authored “Investigating Covert IPC in THREADS” for Cyber Recon '25.
