Where security engineering meets the customer.

I'm Kris Kolos, a cybersecurity-focused Computer Information Systems senior at Baruch College (CUNY) and a former NCAA Division I athlete. I take on ambiguous, unowned problems and drive them to done.

About me

Kris Kolos

I started in biochemical engineering, then realized I wanted to build things, not sit in a lab. That took me to cybersecurity and software, where I get to pick up an ambiguous problem and push it all the way to something that works. Nine years of competitive water polo, including at the NCAA Division I level, taught me how to keep showing up to hard things.

I work best when I own a problem end to end and the stakes are real. On the business side, that meant running a partnership pipeline for a startup in Tel Aviv. On the technical side, it means building an agentic SOC alert-triage copilot on the Anthropic API. I am looking for a Solutions or Product role at a growth-stage, AI-native security company where I can stay close to customer problems and turn them into software that ships.

Build log

  1. Finished the SOC alert-triage copilot and deployed this portfolio. Made the copilot repo public, embedded a live replay of its recorded investigations on the projects page, and put the whole site live on Vercel.

  2. Grew the SOC alert-triage copilot from single-alert to full-queue mode: it now triages a whole batch of alerts in one run, each with its own evidence trail and verdict. Built a browser dashboard that replays the queue as a live "shift report," with an economics view and sorting, plus a cost analysis (about 4 cents per alert) and a written failure review of a case it first got wrong, then fixed.

  3. Built v1 of my SOC alert-triage copilot: a Node.js CLI on the Anthropic API that runs an agentic loop with five investigation tools and triages synthetic SIEM alerts to a structured verdict. It becomes the featured project here once it ships.

  4. Built and shipped v1 of this site with Claude Code. Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, no framework. Custom monogram, warm cream and navy design system, terminal-style demo panel. Next: a hands-on security project for the featured slot.
