  • Proven ability to conduct threat modeling on new features and coordinate penetration tests from scoping through remediation.
  • Experience hardening CI/CD pipelines and GitHub organizations with branch protection, secret scanning, and Actions security measures like OIDC, pinned actions, and scoped permissions.
