Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCameron Lonsdale is a Staff Security Engineer based in Queensland, Australia with 11 years of hands-on experience securing cloud-native platforms and developer workflows. He progressed rapidly through roles at Atlassian and Commonwealth Bank before joining Canva, where he moved from Senior to Staff Security Engineer, focusing on automating CI/CD security, container image scanning, and runtime monitoring. Cameron combines offensive testing (Kubernetes/Docker pentests and vulnerability research) with pragmatic defensive engineering—building reverse proxies for 2FA and integrating security tools into developer pipelines. He has led vendor evaluations and driven security culture changes, from patching practices to developer onboarding. Early entrepreneurial and teaching roles (co-founding a game studio and tutoring computer science) give him unusual empathy for product teams and a knack for turning complex security problems into usable solutions.
