• Partner with engineers to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks through effective system design and algorithm selection.

Secure Software Engineering

• Ensure teams follow secure coding standards and software security best practices throughout the development lifecycle.
• Promote security-by-design principles including threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, vulnerability management, and risk mitigation.
