  Microsoft

  Apr 2016 - Nov 2024

  Senior application security engineer

  Over the years my role has evolved, allowing me to showcase my abilities to learn and adapt rapidly to address new challenges, as well as broadening my understanding across the application security landscape. When I first started at Microsoft my responsibilities revolved around running the static code analysis and dynamic web scanning programs for internal facing applications. Eventually, as those programs evolved, I transitioned off into a more flexible roll that saw me performing deep dive security assessments against specific applications, analyzing datasets in SQL and Kusto databases to look for ways engineers might be circumventing security controls, and product managing creation of dashboards to convey to executives the state of compliance against certain security controls.I was eventually assigned to lead the early effort to understand the extent of Shadow IT within the Corporate divisions. As the degree of the issue became clearer I eventually handed off the lead role to a director, but continue to lead the rollout of the Secure Development Lifecycle and associated compliance programs. In this role I have been managing a contractor and backfilled for my manager while she was out on maternity leave, allowing me to gain valuable management experience. Show less
