ABOUT

Matthew Faber
NAME Matthew Faber
BASE Riviera Beach, FL
ROLE Cybersecurity Engineer
STATUS Open to opportunities

I graduated from UCF in December 2025 with a B.S. in Statistics and a course load deep in computer science — programming in C, Java, Python, and R, statistical learning, big data analytics, and security in computing.

My focus is cybersecurity: detection engineering, threat intelligence, and the analytics that drive both. I'm building a portfolio of practical tools that solve real problems for security learners and practitioners — every project ships, gets used, and gets iterated on.

I'm AI-native. I run a daily workflow across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex — not as autocomplete, but as a multi-agent engineering team. It's how I ship faster than a typical new grad, with a higher standard of code review and security hygiene than I could maintain alone.

“ Statistics taught me to think in distributions. Security taught me to think in adversaries. AI taught me to think in systems. The job is to do all three. ”

AI-AUGMENTED ENGINEERING

I don't just use AI coding tools — I run a coordinated multi-agent workflow across four of the strongest agents and orchestration tools available, picking the right one for each phase of the build. This isn't a productivity gimmick; it's how I scale my impact as a one-person team.

AGENT 01

GitHub Copilot

In-IDE Pair Programmer
  • Inline completions across Python, TypeScript, KQL, Bicep, HTML/CSS
  • Copilot Chat for refactors, test scaffolding, and inline explanations
  • Agent mode for multi-file edits with tool calls and validation loops
  • VS Code integration with custom instructions, prompts, and skills
DAILY DRIVER VS Code
AGENT 02

Claude Code

Architect & Long-Context Reasoner
  • Whole-repo refactors and architecture reviews with long context windows
  • Spec-first development: design docs → implementation plans → code
  • Multi-step terminal tasks, build & test orchestration via CLI
  • Threat modeling and security-review passes on my own code
PLANNING CLI · Terminal
AGENT 03

OpenAI Codex

Autonomous Task Runner
  • Hand off well-scoped tasks for asynchronous, end-to-end completion
  • Cross-validation: independent implementation against Copilot output
  • Bug triage and reproduction on isolated branches before merge
  • Documentation generation and README/changelog upkeep
EXECUTION Async Agent
AGENT 04

squad

Multi-Agent Orchestrator on GHCP CLI
  • Spins up parallel GitHub Copilot CLI agents from a single terminal
  • Fan-out / fan-in workflows: same task, multiple agents, best-of diff review
  • Lets me run scoped sub-tasks in parallel without context-switching
  • Open-source tooling — great example of the GHCP CLI ecosystem maturing
