About

Aaron is a former full-stack engineer whose passion for security compelled him to join the ranks of those who work to make the internet a safer, healthier place. In his security journey, Aaron has built out application security and cloud security programs - enabling and guiding product engineers toward building secure sustainable code. Automation is a must for any organization, and as an engineer, Aaron loves to build and automate. However, without process and practice in place, the created tooling could fall flat. Aaron works across the organization to develop processes and incorporate complementary, reasonable automation. When not focusing on program and process improvements, Aaron still likes to be hands-on and in-code, building out DevSecOps capabilities, using native AWS tooling when possible, and homerolling solutions deployed within Kubernetes when needed. Some of what Aaron is proficient in and is interested in: • AWS Secure Infrastructure and Tooling • Kubernetes Deployment and Secure Configuration • Container Security • Application Security and Secure SDLC • Data and Log Aggregation for Intelligence and Telemetry (most recently Snowflake)
