André L is an application security engineer based in Porto with eight years of experience blending software development and security across startups and consultancies. He has progressed from software developer roles to focused application security positions at companies including Sword Health, ISS Tech Team, and now Viator, pairing hands-on coding background with threat modeling and vulnerability management. Trained at Instituto Superior Técnico and Universidade de Coimbra, he brings academic rigor to practical security controls and secure SDLC practices. Colleagues describe him as a connector who enjoys exchanging ideas and collaborations, and his atypical transition from earlier pure development roles gives him a pragmatic view of developer experience when implementing security.
