# Security Engineer @ Helsing · Louis A

- Security Engineer @ Helsing (2023-02 – 2026-06): - Leadership and Risk Management: As the founding member of Helsing's Security Engineering team, I adapted to my leadership role, identifying and prioritising security risks within our software products, development process, infrastructure, and OPSEC. Risks were assessed based on blast radius, likelihood, and mitigation time.  - Cloud Transition: Spearheaded the transition from Azure to a multi-account secure cloud architecture in AWS (TSE-SE), ensuring enhanced security and scalability.  - CI/CD Pipeline Enhancement: Integrated Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools into our CI/CD pipelines, improving code quality and security.  - Security Talks and Penetration Testing: Regularly conduct security talks and perform both virtual and physical penetration tests to identify and address vulnerabilities while educating my colleagues in a friendly manner.  - Zero Trust Model Implementation: Transitioned Helsing's network connectivity to a zero trust model, significantly enhancing network security.  - Bespoke Solutions for Hostile Environments: Designed and implemented a custom operating system and network connectivity system tailored for use in hostile locations, ensuring secure and reliable operations.
