Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Gravois is a Senior Security Engineer based in the Los Angeles area with over 20 years in IT and a decade focused on application security, penetration testing, and vulnerability management across startups to enterprise environments. He combines hands-on offensive testing experience at firms like Veracode, Rapid7, Coalfire and Esri with program-level work—founding and leading the OWASP Inland Empire chapter and contributing as an independent researcher for platforms such as Synack and Bugcrowd. Brett excels at translating technical findings into executive-level risk guidance and practical remediation, with deep familiarity in PCI practices, automated testing workflows, and API/web app exploit techniques. Colleagues know him for a disciplined outreach approach—preferring targeted recruiter or mutual-introduction conversations—which reflects a careful, consultative professional style. An unexpected detail: his background spans from hands-on helpdesk and systems administration roles through senior security consulting, giving him rare empathy for both engineering and operational perspectives in security assessments.
