Summary
Chethna Frends is a Software Security Specialist based in the Netherlands with 8 years of experience evolving from hands-on software and QA engineering into application security roles. After nearly seven years as a Senior Application Security Engineer at Backbase, she now focuses on securing software at Prime Vision, bringing deep practical knowledge of testing, vulnerability assessment, and secure development lifecycles. Her background across testing, QA and development at companies like inSided, Spil Games and enterprise services gives her a rare blend of attacker-minded security skills and pragmatic engineering instincts. Comfortable working across legacy and modern stacks, she translates security findings into actionable fixes and process improvements that reduce risk without blocking delivery. Equally at home in code reviews and security automation, she leverages her testing roots to build repeatable, measurable security practices.
