You are well-versed in security frameworks and best practices, particularly OWASP standards — your ability to conduct thorough secure code reviews and identify vulnerabilities in applications is a key strength. You thrive in collaborative settings, working closely with product engineering teams to ensure that security is a priority from the initial design phase through to deployment.

As a senior member of the security team, you are a champion for a security-first culture within the organization — you enjoy mentoring junior engineers and sharing your knowledge to foster a deeper understanding of security practices across teams. Your communication skills allow you to effectively convey complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
