Summary
Aphra Bloomfield is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in security with eight years of experience building pragmatic defenses at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. Based in Portland, she has moved from hands-on embedded and real‑time systems for a music hardware startup to securing cloud-native platforms at companies like New Relic, Lattice, and now Panorama Education. She blends full‑stack engineering fluency (React, Node, Go, Docker) with applied security practice—threat modeling, secure architecture, and performance-minded remediation. Her background in music and synesthesia informs a pattern-oriented approach to systems design and user-facing tooling, and she’s comfortable optimizing both low‑level networking and high‑throughput WebSocket/UDP pipelines.
