Astrid Howard is a security-minded software engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable developer and content delivery platforms, currently at Citadel after a decade of progressive roles at Riot Games. She has led developer console and publishing tools teams, blending hands-on systems work in C++, Go, and Python with cloud and CI/CD expertise (AWS, Docker, Terraform, Ansible). Her background includes deep operational knowledge of patching, CDN topology, and build/test infrastructure, and she’s comfortable owning both platform architecture and the operational details that keep services reliable. Early work on real-time intrusion detection and a popular macOS port of a major game show a longtime focus on security, performance, and cross-platform engineering. Based in New York, she combines technical leadership with a practical, delivery-first mindset that surfaces risks early and automates them away.
