  • Sketch Wireshark sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with Firewall Configuration and Wireshark
  • Drive the Wireshark incident postmortem that stops the Westminster outage from recurring

What You'll Bring

  • Experience translating Malware Analysis complexity for a non-technical audience

Excellence Consulting is the kind of documentation-first Westminster company that technology engineers leave their old jobs to join. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.

This freelance role pays $66,000 - $103,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your Resilience expertise.
