As the CISO of Lightspin, a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), I am incredibly close to the product team as both a superuser and advisor having built my own SaaS security tool at my previous position with IHS Markit. I also maintain an open-source CSPM tool called ElectricEye and am used to working with diverse and dispersed teams on feedback. I feel I am a fit for PlatformCON as I can bring a unique security-focused practitioner's lens into platforms and how security and development teams can indeed live in harmony and thrive.
