Eric Jorgensen · Director of Engineering · Product builder
I lead technical teams, architect secure systems, and ship software. Today I’m Director of Engineering at Protect3 Solutions; independently, I build products from first idea through release. My work spans federal security platforms, commercial cybersecurity, and consumer applications.
Denver · Available for select product, engineering leadership, and software development engagements
Current leadership
I direct engineering operations across federal and commercial cybersecurity work—connecting team performance, technical architecture, product strategy, delivery standards, and growth.
Direct cross-functional engineers and consultants across federal and commercial engagements, with accountability for architecture, delivery operations, technical standards, mentoring, and customer outcomes.
Shape the product strategy and architecture for a modular three-tier Cybersecurity as a Service offering—Watch, Comply, and Defend—mapped to NIST CSF 2.0.
Drive product vision for an AI-enabled compliance platform and lead technical proposal, capture, and go-to-market work that connects delivery capability to new opportunities.
Selected work
A selection of systems and products I’ve led, architected, or built—each shaped by real operating constraints and a clear definition of done.
I designed, planned, and delivered a Splunk-based SIEM-as-a-Service platform supporting a broader federal SOC-as-a-Service offering. I lead the engineering work behind cloud, hybrid, and on-prem deployments, detection engineering, and continuous monitoring.
I designed and built a privacy-first Gmail cleaner that groups messages by sender, explains them with on-device AI, and enables fast, safe, reversible batch archiving.
I built a SIEM platform tailored to continuous-monitoring requirements for a CSfC environment, aggregating log and connection data across security enclaves and enabling real-time alerting for suspected network compromise.
I architected, developed, and launched Dataflect to connect Splunk with third-party APIs. I owned the product roadmap, engineering, enterprise security validation, and go-to-market strategy across the complete product lifecycle.
Experience
That range lets me move from architecture and hands-on implementation to team leadership, customer needs, commercial constraints, and accountable delivery.
2024—Present
Director of Engineering
Lead engineering operations across federal and commercial cybersecurity engagements, guiding cross-functional teams, service and product strategy, technical architecture, delivery operations, proposal strategy, and business growth. Current work includes a three-tier cybersecurity service mapped to NIST CSF 2.0 and an AI-enabled compliance platform.
2020—Present
SIEM Team Lead / Senior Security Engineer
Architected and scaled a Splunk-based SIEM-as-a-Service platform for 15+ external federal agencies and DOJ components. Lead engineers and content developers responsible for detection engineering and continuous monitoring across 12 deployments and 60,000+ endpoints.
2009—Present
Founder & Principal Product Engineer
Build and launch independent software products, including a Splunk integration application, a privacy-first AI inbox product, and mobile applications. Own product vision, UX, engineering, testing, security, launch, and go-to-market.
2018—2020
Splunk Development Engineer & Consultant
Led full-lifecycle professional services engagements, translating client requirements into production Splunk platforms, detection content, dashboards, data pipelines, and repeatable onboarding practices.
2010—2018
Federal acquisition, contracting & risk
Served as a U.S. Air Force warranted contracting officer, then managed commercial agreements in regulated clinical environments—building practical expertise in compliance, negotiation, vendor risk, and delivery accountability.
Independent products
These live products reflect end-to-end ownership: discovery, product direction, experience design, architecture, implementation, testing, release operations, and iteration.
Breath, Exercise, Meditation

I take on focused engagements where product direction, engineering execution, security, and operating context all matter. AI is one available tool—not the premise of every project.
Add experienced direction when a product, platform, or team needs clarity. I help frame the problem, shape the roadmap and architecture, align stakeholders, raise delivery standards, and lead the work to a useful release.
Build focused internal tools and customer-facing products from discovery through release. I can own the product decisions, experience, architecture, implementation, testing, and release work as one connected system.
Use AI where it materially improves a product or operating workflow. Frontier APIs, open or self-hosted models, and on-device intelligence are selected for capability, privacy, latency, reliability, and cost—not novelty.
Lead secure, scalable cybersecurity delivery for federal and commercial environments through Protect3 Solutions, from technical strategy and architecture to engineering operations and service execution.
About
I’m a Denver-based engineering, product, and cybersecurity leader. I’m comfortable writing the code, shaping the architecture, mentoring the team, talking with customers, and making the delivery decisions that turn a complicated idea into dependable capability.
My earlier work in U.S. Air Force contracting and regulated commercial agreements still shapes how I lead: define the outcome, understand the constraints, make ownership clear, and build trust through execution.
