Summary
Andy Dolan is a Lead Security Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building secure systems across IoT, PKI, blockchain, and large-scale network environments. Based in Denver, he blends deep academic research (MS in Computer Science, IoT security) with practical engineering—driving cryptographic migrations, SBOM/CBOM practices, and post-quantum readiness at CableLabs. Andy favors a bootstrap mentality: he probes systems from hardware up through software stacks to ensure security is designed in, not bolted on. He emphasizes clean, maintainable implementations and clear rationale, treating code like persuasive writing where style and convention improve trustworthiness and clarity. Known for strong team collaboration, formal writing, and teaching instincts, he pairs technical breadth with a knack for translating complex security trade-offs into actionable engineering decisions.
