Brian Edmonds is a Security Engineering Manager at Google with nine years of hands-on experience building secure systems across mobile, backend, and web architectures. He progressed from analyst roles to engineering and leadership at Google after prior cybersecurity engineering work at MITRE, where he contributed backend logic and tests to the well-known CALDERA adversary-emulation platform. Skilled in Android, Java, Unix, and MySQL, he combines deep technical troubleshooting with operational security design for production services. Based in Kirkland, WA, he brings both academic rigor from Georgia Tech’s MS in Cybersecurity and practical assurance experience from enterprise and research environments. Notably, his open-source work reflects a focus on improving adversary modeling and backend service robustness—an unusual blend for a manager who still commits code.
