Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBill Weiss is a Principal Security Engineer with 13 years of experience building pragmatic, organization-wide defense programs for cloud and production infrastructure. He’s held senior roles at Activision Blizzard, Airtable, Rally Health and Puppet, blending hands-on cloud security architecture, DevSecOps, and team leadership to harden systems and scale security practices. Bill prefers defensive strategy over flashy offensive work, focusing on reducing human and process weak links through targeted education and practical controls like IAM minimization and secret removal from images. He has driven certifications (SOC 2, HITRUST), matured security programs from the ground up, and even enrolled Puppet as a CVE CNA—demonstrating both product-security depth and operational savvy. Based in Albuquerque, he values cross-team engagement and measurable improvements over vendor pitches, and he still enjoys the nuts-and-bolts challenges that come with securing “all the things.”
