Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Wong is a cyber security engineer based in Sydney with 12 years of hands-on experience securing corporate assets, conducting code and security reviews, and integrating third-party services at scale for Atlassian. He balances industry practice with academia as a UNSW lecturer and teaching assistant, developing practical lab content in web application security, digital forensics, and incident response. His background blends low-level systems and audio-visual engineering—having prototyped Dante Connect integrations and built tooling for AV/live events—with full-stack contributions to open-source projects like a popular Node.js Facebook chat API and a Minecraft console client. That mix of broadcast-grade hardware debugging, software prototyping, and pentesting gives him a rare ability to spot system-level security issues others miss. Comfortable making teams adopt stronger controls (including a healthy dose of 2FA), he brings a pragmatic, maker-and-breaker mindset to building resilient, auditable systems.
