Senior🎓
Top SchoolAurélien Wailly is a Senior Security Manager based in Greater Paris with 13 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience and over a decade at AWS driving security operations and automation. He has built and scaled Operational R&D and multi-team engineering organizations, improved operational efficiency by double-digit percentages year-over-year, and implemented follow-the-sun on-call across five+ timezones. A pragmatic leader, he combines incident response, tooling and automation expertise with a strong track record of migrating legacy architectures to native AWS while reducing operational load via services like GuardDuty. Deeply technical and security-obsessed, Aurélien contributes to low-level open-source tooling (e.g., improving a fast C++ ROP gadget finder), demonstrating a continuing commitment to code quality and vulnerability hardening. His background in telecoms and a PhD-level computer science education underpin a rare blend of research-minded problem solving and production-focused delivery. Colleagues describe him as a geek who pairs rigorous technical depth with operational pragmatism to raise the security bar across organizations.
