Alexey Lapitsky is a pragmatic security and infrastructure leader with 17 years of experience building and protecting large-scale cloud and blockchain systems. He led platform and application security at Spotify—scaling the security org from 10 to 60 people and steering incident response, GDPR/SOX readiness, and cloud migrations—and later secured billions in TVL across NEAR/Ethereum ecosystems at Aurora Labs. Comfortable toggling between hands-on engineering and strategic leadership, he has deep SRE, CI/CD and secure SDLC expertise across Rust, Solidity and major clouds. He’s known for high-stakes remediation (including running a $6M bounty program) and for turning complex security requirements into practical, auditable controls. A founder-turned-advisor who cut his teeth running high-traffic services and fighting DDoS in the early web era, he blends startup grit with enterprise process. Based in “no man’s land,” he prefers shipping pragmatic security over theoretical perfection.
