André Nascimento is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with a strong background in cloud-native distributed systems, DevSecOps and embedded IoT, blending four years of formal experience with a longer technical trajectory across firmware and hardware projects. At Microsoft he led and built large-scale DevSecOps services that scan hundreds of thousands of repositories, helped productize internal tooling into Defender for Cloud, and contributed to AI-in-healthcare projects involving Speech-to-Text and secure cloud architectures. He is an active open-source contributor to Keycloak’s operator, improving deployment, image pull secrets and server configuration—showing a focus on secure, production-ready identity infrastructure. Comfortable across C#, .NET, TypeScript, React and low-level C on ARM, André combines threat modeling and static analysis expertise with hands-on implementation and technical leadership. Notably, his background spans both firmware that fixed critical transit systems and cloud services that shift security left, reflecting a rare full-stack-to-device perspective.
